About The Artwork
With pressure by activists over time, some museums are now making concerted efforts to highlight the work of black female artists, increasing funds for minority artists, and hiring administrators dedicated to diversity. The fact that minority artists were sidelined for years, though, somehow still justifies calling their art « new », « exotic » or « primitive » and categorizing it within the context of the western canon. Until the art world truly accepts that art by minority artists is part of long histories of self identification through rich ethnic traditions that are completely independent from western art, these inclusions will remain fads devoid of any sincere aim to truly value them. Sidelined is part of my "Art From The Edge" series which portrays the marginalization of women of color in art. Fabric background and 3D yarn hair make this piece unique and striking. D-rings attached, ready to hang. Stretched canvas with no frame.

United Arab Emirates
Ghia Haddad is a visual artist from Dubai. Born in Beirut, she lived through war and displacement and understands the power that art and artists have to spark positive social change through expressive color and imagery. She is passionate about examining identities of underrepresented women through her figurative art. Ghia expresses these identities by infusing her female portrait paintings with flowing fabrics, handmade flowers, beads, string and embroidery, thus challenging the traditional belief that fiber art does not have a legitimate space within high art. She also paints Arabic calligraphy with fabric collages on acrylic pours - vivid expressions in the language of her people; Arabic words mirroring the journey of their experience and the shades of their shifting identities.
