  I am my mother's daughter

  Farheen Haq

  Sat 23 May 2026 – Sat 18 July 2026

  Opening Reception Sat 23 May 2026 2PM - 4PM

  میں اپنی ماں کی بیٹی ہوں | I am my mother’s daughter is a solo exhibition hosted at NAC, featuring the works of acclaimed Canadian artist Farheen Haq.  The exhibition celebrates the resilience and knowledge systems of Haq’s mother who arrived in Canada in the 1970s to live with her partner in an arranged marriage, settling in the Niagara region, Haudenosaunee Territory. 

  The exhibition is a mixture of video, sculptural, textile and installation art, which weaves together intergenerational relationships, connecting the experience of the artist’s mother with Haq’s experience as a child of that union and subsequently, its impact on her own experience as a mother. The artist’s work of inner housekeeping includes personal journeys through a family’s past as a way of moving forward, and political reconciliations determined by the territories on which she and her family arrived as guests.

  Body of Questions

  Farheen Haq

  Sat 23 May 2026 – Sat 18 July 2026

  Opening Reception Sat 23 May 2026 2PM - 4PM

  Presented as part of the exhibition I am my mother's daughter, Body of Questions is a series of billboard style images made in a post-9/11 era.

  “I made this series of billboard style images in a post-9/11 Islamophobic era when I was facing many questions about being a Muslim woman in Canada. I also think of my mother and all immigrants who arrive in new places and are questioned about their identity as though they don’t belong.” - Farheen Haq

  More images from this series are on view in the Show Room Gallery as part of میں اپنی ماں کی بیٹی ہوں | I am my mother’s daughter.
