Abid Farhan
Abid Farhan is an artist who grew up in Ilford, London. Moving back home ha s been the source of inspiration for his practice, which looks at spaces, how they hold our memories, and reflect back to us the stories of our lives. Being of Bengali descent, the works sometimes draw on his diasporic experiences, examining the tensions created by immigration and growing up between two countries. His work shifts between multiple media, guided by the idea.
