Feda Wardak

His work focuses on the impact of imperialist and liberal dynamics on inhabited environments. He is interested in the effects of war in the Afghan tribal areas, the demolition of social housing neighbourhoods in the suburbs of Paris, water management policies and the consequences of extractivism on landscapes and life. His artistic work allows him to operate on landscapes to reveal the violence that affects them. Systemic and unseen forms of violence gradually contribute to the pollution, transformation and, ultimately, the disappearance of entire ecosystems. Confronted with these critical situations, Feda Wardak distinguishes between what is considered to be “fair” and what is deemed to be “legal.” He defends his artistic creations as instruments of jurisprudence that seek to challenge and reform the existing legal framework. He expresses his artistic vision through various media, including monumental landscape pieces, films, choreographic performances and the creation of new spaces such as the school of know-how, art and education centre. Feda Wardak graduated in architecture in 2015 from ENSA Paris-Belleville, where he currently teaches. His work has been presented in various biennials such as Venice, Dhaka, Lagos, Chicago, Lyon and exhibitions in Paris, Geneva, Dunkirk and Afghanistan. He considers that he has presented his most meaningful creations in the public space.
