Jude Abu Zaineh (Kuwait/Canada/USA) is an interdisciplinary Palestinian artist and cultural worker whose practice relies on the use of art, food, and technology to investigate meanings of culture, displacement, diaspora, and belonging. She examines ideals of home and community while working to develop aesthetics rooted in her childhood spent in the Middle East. She received a BA in Communications and Visual Arts (2014) and an MFA (2019) from the University of Windsor and is currently pursuing a PhD in Electronic Arts at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Her work has been exhibited at venues across Canada and internationally, including Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco, Dublin Castle, Museum of Glass, Ontario Science Centre, Museum of Contemporary Art (Toronto), Art Windsor-Essex, Centro de Cultura Digital, and the Museum of Art, Architecture and Technology. She is the recipient of awards, fellowships, and grants including a William and Meredith Saunderson Prize for Emerging Artists (2020); two SSHRC Doctoral Awards from the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada (2020 and 2021); and residencies from the Curtis R. Priem Experimental Media & Performing Arts Center (EMPAC) and Cultivamos Cultura. Abu Zaineh is a 2022 Museum London and Media City Film Festival Southwest Seen commission artist. She lives and works in Troy, New York and Windsor, Ontario. |
