Sukaina Kubba
Sukaina Kubba is interested in stories of travel and transport across oceans, seas and deserts: people, animals, materials and manmade artifacts. Kubba works across several mediums including drawing, painting, fibres, audio, video and installation to explore material cultures, appropriation and assimilation. She is also interested in the study of rugs, their packaging and their transport; fictional lives on real cruise-ships; and parables about desert animals and their legal woes.
Sukaina Kubba has exhibited work at Aga Khan Museum, Toronto; Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow; and Kendall Koppe, Glasgow, among others.
