MONA TAHA

Mona Taha was born in Uganda to an Egyptian father and Rwandan mother. A self-taught artist, she works in a wide range of media, including charcoal, ink and collage, and is drawn to themes that revolve around her personal introspection and struggles as a mother, daughter and woman from a Muslim background. Her works thus explore issues of gender, femininity, self-discovery, self-awareness and social identity. Mona has participated in Art Basel Miami Beach and Art Paris, and her recent exhibitions include Echo (Jenkins Johnson Projects NYC, 2022) and Shapes of Water (Afriart Gallery, 2023).
