Biography
The Earl of Bushwick is a playful artistic persona. As a non-binary queer Arab and immigrant, they are concerned with ideas of the Queer, the Other, and issues of not belonging, especially as it applies to art and class. Through their fluid night practice, they share and create safe spaces for identities and artists who do not fit or belong, as the Earl themselves spends their days operating as a surgeon. Their home in Brooklyn, dubbed “The Earl's Court," is a long-running safe space and community art project. They performed Bushwick Burqa at the Armory Show, (New York, 2012 and 2013); presented Rent a Burqa at Bushwick Open Studios (Brooklyn, 2013); and previously exhibited at the National Arts Club (New York, 2019). A winner of the Apexart NYC Open Call, they are presenting an exhibition titled Queer-y-ing the Arab at Apexart in March 2021.
