Artist in Residence: Faisal Karadsheh

Artist-in-Residence/Programming Assistant

Faisal Karadsheh (b. 1999, Amman) is a Jordanian-Palestinian artist and arts administrator based in T’karonto/Toronto. His interdisciplinary approach spans painting, sound, video, installation, performance, poetry, extended reality, and community organizing. Through collecting and preserving material traces, his practice examines how the body adapts, reproduces, and constructs itself. Karadsheh’s work perforates the inherent boundaries between the body and its environment, exploring their connection and separation, while embracing their existential paradoxes. Narratives of skin, memory, communication, and identity often emerge. Most recently, he has been exploring experimental methods to capture absences and uncover presence within empty spaces.
