Sherin Guirguis

  • Social media:

Biography

Using site, text and recovered histories as the core of each series, Guirguis develops projects that engage audiences in a dialogue about power, agency, and social transformation. Her research based practice is a means to heighten the understanding of marginalized and contested histories, in particular those of women that have often been forgotten and/or erased. She aims to make the often invisible work of historically underrecognized women visible once more. The work engages both formal and social concerns by juxtaposing the reductive Western language of minimalist aesthetics with that of Eastern ornamentation. Born in Luxor, Egypt, and currently living in Los Angeles, CA, she received her BA from the College of Creative Studies, University of California, Santa Barbara and her MFA from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas. Her work has been exhibited and collected internationally.
