Sahar Khoury
2028 Eureka Fellow
Sahar Khoury is an artist based in Oakland, CA. Khoury makes sculptures that integrate abstraction, personal and political symbols, and an intuitive sensitivity to site. Found or rejected objects that are immediate, abundant, and recurring serve as a script for her interdependent constructions made of metal, ceramic, cement, and papier-mâché. Trained in anthropology, she worked for years on community-based research projects concerning structural vulnerability within Latinx migrant labor communities. Khoury developed her art practice within the Bay Area’s queer community of the late 1990s and 2000s.
She received her BA in Anthropology from UC Santa Cruz in 1996 and her MFA from UC Berkeley in 2013. Khoury’s solo shows include the Wexner Center for the Arts, the John Michael Kohler Arts Center, SFMOMA, Rebecca Camacho in San Francisco, and CANADA in New York. She is the recipient of the Joan Mitchell Fellowship in 2025.
