Kubra Khademi

Hazara performance artist and feminist activist Kubra Khademi was born in Afghanistan in 1989. In her resolutely political work, she explores her life as a refugee woman. As a fine arts student in Kabul and Lahore, she created her first public performances as a way to challenge patriarchy. In 2015, following her performance of Armor, she was forced to flee Afghanistan. She became a French citizen in 2020 and has since been honoured as Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres. Since then, she has exhibited her work in international institutions, and she frequently collaborates with the Galerie Eric Mouchet. In 2023, she created The Golden Horizon at the Théâtre de la Ville.
