About the Artist
 
Born in 1962 in Karachi, Pakistan, Huma Bhabha lives and works in Poughkeepsie, New York. Her work addresses themes of colonialism, war, displacement, and memories of place. Using found materials and the detritus of everyday life, she creates haunting human figures that hover between abstraction and figuration, monumentality and entropy.
 
Bhabha's work has been the subject of numerous national and international exhibitions, including Unnatural Histories at MoMA P.S.1, New York; All the World's Futures at the 56th International Art Exhibition La Biennale di Venezia, Italy; Players at the Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy; Huma Bhabha at the Aspen Art Museum, Colorado; Stranger at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Cleveland, Ohio; A Different Kind of Order: The ICP Triennial at the International Center of Photography, New York; Land Marks at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Intense Proximity at La Triennale, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France; 2010 Whitney Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; and the 7th Gwangju Biennale, Korea.  In 2008, she received The Aldrich Contemporary Art Museum Emerging Artist Award, and in 2013 she was awarded the Berlin Prize, Guna S. Mundheim Fellowship, the American Academy in Berlin.

The Roof Garden Commission: Huma Bhabha, We Come in Peace will be featured on The Met website, as well as on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter via the hashtag #CantorRoof.
