Rand Abdul Jabbar (Iraqi-Canadian, b. Baghdad, 1990) is an interdisciplinary artist whose practice weaves together sculpture, installation, writing, and video to engage with the politics of memory, heritage, and material culture. Drawing from archaeology, mythology, and imperial histories, she reconstructs fragments of the past into evocative spatial narratives that reclaim agency and identity through acts of remembrance and re-imagination. Her work unfolds across personal and collective histories, proposing alternative readings of absence, displacement, and cultural inheritance. A graduate of Columbia University’s Master of Architecture program (2014), Abdul Jabbar was awarded the Richard Mille Art Prize by Louvre Abu Dhabi in 2022.
