Naheed Raza is a sculptor and filmmaker whose practice is informed by her background and training in science. Her works are characterised by a sense of fragility, transience and a tactile engagement with materials. By experimenting with and depicting these materials, Raza invites us to consider both their physical properties and their metaphorical possibilities.

Raza studied medicine and natural sciences at Oxford University before going on to study for a BA in Fine Art at Chelsea School of Art and then graduating with an MA from the Slade School of Art in 2007. She has been Artist in Residence in the Maths Department at UCL and the recipient of a Wellcome Trust Arts Award. Her recent exhibitions include solo shows at the Royal Institution of Great Britain, Lismore Castle Arts and Bloomberg SPACE, and screenings at the Centre for Contemporary Art, Glasgow and Edinburgh Film Festival.
