Faheem Majeed
American, born 1976
BiographyFaheem Majeed is an interdisciplinary artist. He blends his unique experience as an artist, non-profit administrator, and curator to create works that focus on institutional critique and exhibitions that leverage collaboration to engage his immediate, and the broader community, in meaningful dialogue. He draws inspiration from the history of Chicago and, more specifically, his neighborhood in South Shore. As an artist, Faheem Majeed’s work plays an important role in highlighting the complexity of the lack of investment in the cultural capital present in minority communities by creating space for dialogue, and in bringing together a spectrum of stakeholders. Majeed believes artwork itself does not immediately solve this problem; however, it does create platforms to connect, expose, fund and amplify those that are already working to address these issues in their communities.
