Fatima Uzdenova
Fatima Uzdenova is an artist based between the UK, UAE and North Caucasus. She was born in Karachay-Cherkess Republic in USSR prior to moving to United Arab Emirates in 1995.
Fatima holds a MA Sculpture degree from the Royal College of Art, London. She is an alumna of the Salama bint Hamdan Al Nahyan Emerging Artists Fellowship (SEAF), cohort of 2015-2016, in partnership with Rhode Island School of Design, Providence, USA.
Her practice is moored in the idea of a garden as a place of conquest, a spiritual terrain, and as source of nourishment(s). Her practice rangers from sculpture to performance, audio walkatives to writing and her research is currently focused on colonial botany and the ‘fictive’ as methodology to explore legacy of colonisation, geo-political histories and Russian Orientalism.
