Khadija C. Baker
Khadija is a final-year student in the Painting and Drawing program at Concordia University. In describing her work, Khadija says she focuses on women's issues, which she uses as a metaphor for her point of view. "The history of my nation and not having a voice or space in the world" are her central themes. Khadija wants her work to engage viewers "and tell them stories about myself as a woman and as a Kurdish person." The women's issue and the Kurdish one are linked by "the problem of not having enough space in the world," she says. Khadija has also illustrated children's books and done book covers.
