Aysha Hamouda (born 1991) is a Swiss-Tunisian interdisciplinary artist based in the U.S.
Hamouda’s installations exist between the tangible and the intangible, the definite and the hypothetical space. Through these works, she explores psycho-digital spaces that are reminiscent of 3D modeling programs. These works exist between pigment and code, dream-state and virtual reality. Hamouda creates site-specific installations to reflect on illusionary structures and what makes them real.
She has exhibited her work nationally and internationally including Iceland, Germany, Switzerland, China, and the United States. Hamouda was part of Wavelength Reset, an international platform and traveling exhibition based in Shanghai, China, where two of her installations were exhibited at Times Art Museum in Beijing, and Artron Museum in Shenzhen in 2019.
Hamouda’s installation Each Body— A Vertiginous House was selected for the 2019 SpringBreak Art Show Fact and Fiction and exhibited at the U.N. Plaza in New York, NY. Hamouda’s series of four installations The Caves Project (Persephone) were shown as part of the larger Festival Altitudes’ exhibition in 2018, an annual art festival in Switzerland. In 2022, Hamouda’s installation print(“Hellow, World”) was shown in a solo exhibition at Fordham University.
Since 2021, she is an active member of S.A., a creative writing collective.
Hamouda completed her MFA degree in Studio Arts (2018) at Syracuse University in upstate New York, where she currently teaches.
