Join KUOW’s Marcie Sillman as she pulls back the curtain on the creative process, giving participants a glimpse of why and how an artist creates work, and we hope, a greater appreciation for the rich and diverse cultural community in our region. 

About Humaira Abid: Searching for Home

"Searching for Home" is Humaira Abid’s first solo museum exhibition in the United States. Abid is known for her bold, symbolically rich, and precisely realized wood sculptures and miniature paintings. Her work is at turns humorous and ironic, while her themes are timeless. Abid tackles cultural norms, gender roles and relationships in both her native Pakistan and adopted home of the United States. "Searching for Home" is a site-specific installation featuring personal narratives, stories and portraits of refugees in the Pacific Northwest, and socio-cultural themes of immigration, women, and families.
