Najah Alboushi is a Syrian-American artist, fabricator, and educator, born and raised in the Midwest. During her childhood, she lived a quiet, imaginative life filled with fantasies and world-building. She draws on this form of speculation along with her cultural work, organizing, writing, and art-making, to build a life that thoughtfully resists. She works with mediums that carry on the legacies of Levantine craft, including glassmaking and tatreez (cross stitching). Alboushi holds a BA in Journalism and Studio Arts from the University of Wisconsin and an MFA from California College of the Arts.
