artist-in-residence 
TAZEEN QAYYUM
09/10 -27/10/2020
For the first time philomena+ cooperates with the renowned Salam Orient festival and invites the Pakistani Canadian artist Tazeen Qayyum for a residency programme including various events. (See the programme below)
Primarily trained as a miniature painter of the Persian and South Asian tradition, Tazeen Qayyum continues to explore new materials and processes through mediums such as drawing, installation, sculpture, video and performance. Repetition, rhythm, balance, and geometry are methodological devices that allows her to create artworks that are visually complex and offer a multi-layered understanding of material and techniques used. Drawing from complex issues of belonging and displacement within a socio political and religious context, her art is a way for her to navigate identity and beliefs while living in diaspora.
Tazeen Qayyum received her BFA in Visual Arts from the NCA (National College of Arts) in Lahore, Pakistan (1996). She is one of the pioneers of contemporary miniature painting. Tazeen Qayyum’s works have been shown in galleries and museums around the world and are included in several publications as well as in many private and public collections. She has been nominated for the Jameel Prize (2013) and the K.M. Hunter Award (2014) and was awarded the Excellence in Art Award 2015 by the CCAI (Canadian Community Arts Initiative).
