Farah Mohammad

Farah Mohammad (b. 1993, Karachi, Pakistan) is a printmaker, installation artist, and educator based in NYC. Some of her most recent works have been sculptural woodcut prints, etchings, and monotypes of architectural structures that symbolize resilience. Her process of creating prints, where she breaks images down into shapes around which she builds the main subject, enables her to take an emotional inventory of their personal symbolism.

Mohammad received her BA from Bennington College and her MFA from Columbia University. Her exhibition highlights include a solo exhibition at Nyama Fine Art, New York, and group exhibitions at the Moss Art Center, Blacksburg, VA; Print Center New York (PCNY), Half Gallery, EFA’s Blackburn 20|20 Gallery, The Jewish Museum, ChaShaMa, Field Projects, and Local Project Art Space, all in New York. She was the Artist in Residence at the Cornerstone Studios (2022-2023) and was also the recipient of the Keyholder Residency (2021-2022), The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Blackburn Print Excellence Award (2021), and the Lucas T. Carlson Grant at Columbia University (2020). Most recently Mohammad was awarded the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Printmaking Fellowship and the 2023 LMCC Arts Center Residency. Mohammad’s work is in the permanent collection at the Baltimore Museum of Art.
