Fatimah Tuggar

Interdisciplinary artist Fatimah Tuggar uses dialogue and discovery among disciplines and cultures as a central artmaking approach. In her work, technology is a medium and subject that serves as metaphors for power dynamics combining objects, images and sounds from diverse geographies and histories to comment on how technology impacts local and global realities.

Her work has been exhibited in over 30 countries. She has received accolades, including a Guggenheim Creative Arts and W. A. Mellon Research Fellowships. She is a Professor of AI & the Arts: Art & Global Equity at the University of Florida and the 2024-25 Sick Distinguished Professor at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her ideas and artworks have been featured in publications, including Hirmer's monograph Fatimah Tuggar: Home's Horizon. Tuggar has contributed to the global discourse in contemporary art through talks, workshops and publications such as "72 Assignments: The Foundation Course in Art and Design Today" and the Visual Communications Journal special issue on "The Ethics of Images."
