Lina Hashim

Press release

Danish-Iraqi Lina Hashim explores the dual perception of Islam and gender, both as a woman with a Muslim background and as a critical observer. Fragments of Me presents a powerful selection of works from different periods of Hashim’s career, investigating and revealing the hidden layers of oppression faced by Muslim women. The exhibition presents mirror mosaics, calligraphy and blood-filled carpets, all of which together form a collective narrative while also reflecting facets of Hashim’s life. The focal point of your gaze will shift when confronted with Lina Hashim’s works, which reflect both the beautiful and the brutal.

Lina Hashim (b. Kuwait City, 1978) lives and works in Copenhagen. She graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2020 and has exhibited widely, including at Kunsthal Charlottenborg, Nikolaj Kunsthal and the Norton Museum of Art in West Palm Beach, Florida. She has received 15. June Foundation’s honorary award and the Danish Arts Foundation’s three-year work grant.
