Biography

Nadia Younes (b.1999) is an interdisciplinary artist who examines confession and embodiment, as influenced by her diverse cultural background spanning Israel, Mali, Mauritania, Jordan, and Russia. Younes's artistic journey is informed by her unique background as the daughter of a former Soviet Union immigrant mother and a Palestinian refugee father.

An MFA candidate at the Yale School of Art, Younes has honed her craft with classical training from the Saint Petersburg Art and Industry Academy and Bezalel Academy in Jerusalem. She explores various mediums, including painting, installation, video, sculpture, and writing, through which she navigates the complex landscapes of identity, belonging, and impermanence.

Younes's work is a dialogue between her personal experiences and the broader human condition, resonating across cultures and borders. She delves into themes such as the male gaze, power dynamics in relationships, addiction, the concept of home, and the politics of the body.
