Aishath Huda is a Chicago-based artist from the Maldives. She makes work that investigates the relationship between bodies and environment in both the local and the ecological sense. Huda considers water as an access point to a more expanse sense of we, and collaborates with water to recognize water outside human needs, knowledge, and logic. Grounded in material interactions, her work drifts between image and material, bodies and borders, local and global, perception and memory, events and time. Most recent work addresses the many ways water is abstracted through ethics and aesthetics; how this affects climate literacy, and how climate literacy is connected to human and more-than-human relations.

Huda holds an MFA(2023) from the University of Illinois Chicago, and a BFA(2016) from China Academy of Art, Hangzhou.

She had a solo exhibition at the Maldives National Art gallery(Malè) and worked as arts coordinator/teaching artist at the Maldives National University from 2017-2021.
