Berlin, May 2025 — Kubra Khademi, an alumna of the UNESCO Madanjeet Singh Institute for South Asian Arts (UMISAA) program, University of Beaconhouse National University, Lahore, continues to captivate global audiences with her bold and thought-provoking work as an artist and performer. Her latest participation is in a prestigious exhibition organized by the Art Council of the German Bundestag, titled "Us. 19 fundamental rights. 19 artistic positions. One dialogue space." The exhibition runs from 22 May 2025 to 21 June 2026 at the Forum Kunst at the Bundestag in Berlin.
Khademi presents her powerful 2024 work "Article 5", created using gouache and gold leaf on paper. This piece responds to Article 5 of the German Basic Law, which guarantees freedom of expression, and reflects her ongoing commitment to themes of exile, identity, and resistance. Her work features bold visual storytelling, rooted in personal and political experience. Kubra, originally from Afghanistan and part of the Hazara community, sought refuge in France in 2015 after a performance piece in Kabul led to threats against her. Since then, she has received French citizenship, exhibited worldwide, and has been recognized with numerous accolades including the Chevalier de l’Ordre des Arts et des Lettres in 2016.
