Huda Takriti (*1990, Damascus, Syria) uses video and installation to question hidden histories within colonial and state archives. Her work analyzes how systems of power define memory through a decolonial and feminist lens. She is currently pursuing a PhD in practice at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, where she is examining the notion of archival erasure relating to the (hi)stories of female freedom fighters from the Middle East in times of armed anti-colonial struggle, questioning the construction and production of historical narratives as well as the potential that contamination can carry as a way of surviving archival gaps. Takriti’s latest exhibitions were at institutions such as MQ Freiraum (AT), Camera Austria (AT), mumok (AT), Kunstraum Lakeside (AT), and Škuc Gallery (SI). Takriti received the Han Nefkens Foundation – Museu Tàpies Video Art Production Grant (2025), the Kardinal König Prize (2025), the Vordemberge-Gildewart Scholarship (2022), the Kunsthalle Wien Preis (2020), and the Camargo Foundation Fellowship (2023).
