Overview
Hayv Kahraman (b. 1981, Baghdad, Iraq) lives and works in Los Angeles.
Hayv Kahraman is a Kurdish-Iraqi painter whose work primarily deals with the body politics of migrant consciousness. Often blended with her personal history as a refugee to Europe and ultimately to the United States, she creates a unique visual language that reflects her nomadic background and challenges various notions of hegemonic control.
