About  the  Facilitator:  Habiba El-Sayed









Inspired by Islamic architecture and human vulnerability, Toronto-based artist Habiba El-Sayed combines clay with a variety of materials, performative and temporal techniques to illustrate her concepts. Habiba holds an Advanced Diploma from Sheridan College in Ceramics (2014) and a BFA in Ceramics from the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design (2016). El-Sayed's work has been shown in galleries and museums across North America and has been featured in publications such as Craft is Political, BlackFlash Magazine, Fusion Magazine and Studio Potter. El-Sayed was the recipient of the Chalmers Professional Development Projects grant (2022), and due to the generous support of the Ontario Arts Council, is currently studying VR/AR development as she begins to integrate new technologies into her practice.
