Immigrant Creatives | Between Worlds: The Art of Becoming

In this talk, hybrid artist and curator Faisal Anwar reflects on his journey navigating cultures, geographies, and identities as an immigrant creative. Through stories and projects that merge art, technology, ecology, and community engagement, Anwar explores the challenges and possibilities of living “between worlds.” He will share insights from his journey and experiences navigating prestigious public art opportunities and cross-continent collaborations as part of his evolving artistic path. Anwar discusses how this in-between space informs his creative process and sense of belonging, revealing how public art and digital experiences can become acts of becoming, ways to bridge divides, imagine new futures, and reframe how we see ourselves and one another in an interconnected world.
