Sabba S. Elahi is an interdisciplinary artist and educator who grew up in a Pakistani household in the Midwest. Elahi received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and is recipient of artist residencies at the Chicago Artists Coalition, Ragdale, and a finalist for the Mother Art Prize (2020). Her art across fibers, drawing, performance, and installation, resists dehumanization and cultural erasure, intersecting narratives of self, community, and structures of power.
