ARTIST SPOTLIGHT
Farah Mohammad
Farah Mohammad is a visual artist and educator based in New York City. She works across printmaking, painting, and installation. Her practice begins with photographing built environments, which she deconstructs into abstract shapes that form the basis of her compositions. She maps emotional landscapes by layering architectural forms, transforming personal spaces into dynamic compositions that explore history and resilience. She received her BA from Bennington College and her MFA from Columbia University. Her exhibition highlights include solo exhibitions at Nyama Fine Art, New York, and Deerfield Academy, Deerfield, MA, and group exhibitions at the Moss Arts Center, Blacksburg, VA; The Print Center New York; Project: ARTspace; EFA’s Blackburn 20|20 Gallery; The Jewish Museum; ChaShaMa; Field Projects; and Fridman Gallery, all in New York. Mohammad has participated in artist residencies at MacDowell, Yaddo, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, the Institute for Electronic Arts at Alfred University, Cornerstone Studios, LMCC, and the Keyholder Residency at Lower East Side Printshop. She is currently an Artist Fellow at the National Arts Club, New York. She received the EFA Blackburn Print Excellence Award (2021) and the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship (2023).
