ABOUT
Nurul Huda Rashid is currently a postdoc at Leiden University having recently completed a PhD in the Cultural Studies in Asia programme at the National University of Singapore (NUS). Her dissertation examines images of Muslim women in the data turn, theorised through an algorithmic visuality that encapsulates new modes of image reproduction via algorithmic circulation. Her dissertation is a 10-year continuation of her visual arts practice in photographic works such as Hijab/Her (2012-2014) and unknown woman/wanita kami (2021), and in lecture-performances such as Women in War (2016-ongoing) and Nodes (2022). These visual projects are anchored in articulations of the female figure through explorations of the image in photography, colonial archives, and performance. Bridging perspectives from visual and archival methods alongside feminists and decolonial theories, Nurul activates through workshops. She has collaborated on a nusantara digital archive in Pulau Something (2021) with cultural workers in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, and Taiwan; co-facilitated a decolonial pedagogical camp, New Curriculum for Old Questions (2019) with NUS Museum; and co-created programmes with arts spaces like Objectifs and The Substation, Singapore. As an educator, Nurul has taught in subjects such as Anthropology, Sociology, Liberal Arts, and Visual Arts in multiple tertiary educational institutions in Singapore. Nurul loves smelling old books and hopes to adopt a cat someday. Free free Palestine! BDS |
