Heba Amin is an Egyptian artist whose work seeks to map collective memory as it relates to the built environment. Her theoretical and studio-based work addresses themes related to urban planning, mapping, migration/immigration and language as an aesthetic database to explore junctures, failures, and flawed memory. She works in an archival nature, drawing from collections of work to reconfigure and make meaning of the subject through different materials, most often manifesting as film/video, installation, and projection performance. She received her MFA in Interactive Design at the College of Design, University of Minnesota and a BA in Studio Art at Macalester College. Heba lives in Berlin, is a current DAAD scholar and teaches New Media Art at the University of Applied Sciences Berlin (Hochschule für Technik und Wirtschaft).
