Jordan Nassar

b.1985 New York City, lives and works in New York City.

Nassar’s work addresses the intersection of craft, language, history, (geo)politics, and technology. Focusing on the intricacies of identity and cultural participation, as an Arab-Polish-American, Nassar treats traditional craft more as medium than topic, using contemporary visual language to examine cultural heritage, symbology, superstition, and abstraction.
