Aishath Huda (Huda) is an artist from the Maldives currently living and working in Chicago. Huda regards water as a method to register the interactions, responses, and transformations of the material, body, and event. Huda's paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, and installations articulate connections and distinctions to witness the ecological relationship between bodies and environments. To facilitate this, she works with Chinese ink, sediments, particulates, residues, and pigments that are activated by processes such as painting, submerging, freezing, folding, and exposure to weather conditions.

Huda has exhibited internationally including at the South Asia Institute and Gallery400 (Chicago); Metafora (Barcelona); Santa Rosa Monastery (Sardinia); Diamonds La Gemma Dell’est (Zanzibar); Nehru Wangchuck Cultural Center (Thimphu); The Capital Library (Beijing); China Academy of Art Museum (Hangzhou); Xi’an Academy of Fine Arts (Xi’an); and the Maldives National Art gallery (Malé). She co-founded Fine Art Maldives, an artist organization based in the Maldives.
