Shadia Heenan

Shadia Heenan works in photography, video, and performance. She desires to make work that speaks to multicultural experiences, questioning what it means to occupy space within multiple cultures. Her video Tea Time with Baba, in which father and daughter engage in conversation over tea, captures the essence of moments often overlooked but
