HANEEN HADIY
Born in Glasgow to Iraqi parents, Haneen Hadiy is an interdisciplinary artist working across sculpture, painting, photography, ceramics, and installation. Her practice explores themes of migration, memory, ecology, and cultural identity through the symbolism and material presence of the palm.
Working between Scotland and Iraq, Hadiy draws upon natural materials, archive, landscape, and Arabic language to reflect on ideas of displacement, belonging, and cultural continuity. Her work is informed by site responsive research and an ongoing interest in the emotional and historical traces carried within materials and environments.
Influenced by Iraqi modernism, ecological thought, and contemporary material practices, her work considers how memory and identity can exist across shifting geographies, creating quiet dialogues between landscape, material, and inheritance.
