Rand Abdul Jabbar
Rand Abdul Jabbar is a young Iraqi artist who engages in a multi-disciplinary approach to creative output, oscillating across the threshold between design, architecture, and the visual arts. Her research based art is often informed by ancient Mesopotamian culture, drawing inspiration from Assyrian and Babylonian architecture, archaeology and mythology. Throughout her process, she often borrows from and reconstruct the ephemera of place, history, and memory, employing design, sculpture and installation as primary mediums of operation. Abdul Jabbar received a Master of Architecture from Columbia University in 2014.
