Cultural historian Huda Lutfi is a self-taught artist. An Associate Professor at the American University, Cairo, Lutfi holds a PhD in Islamic Culture and History. Her artistic practice is closely aligned with her research, both of which reflect upon history and traditions as they exist in the contemporary world. In considering the present-day interpretations and misinterpretations of the past, Lutfi investigates the human psyche as it relates to remembrance. Her practice has always been in conversation with a larger political context, incorporating strong elements of popular culture, political insignia, and a play on slogans and language. The human figure has also been an essential part of her language. In the recent years, her works have taken a more self-reflexive and inward turn.
