Andrea Shaker
Andrea Shaker’s (she/her) creative work is interdisciplinary, spanning photography, moving image, experimental film, and written and spoken word. As an Arab American, she explores the spaces between home and homeland and migration and diaspora. Her work, albeit oftentimes quiet, has an urgency by which she seeks to (re)construct and (re)imagine bayt (home) in the face of dispersals, erasures, and fragmentations. She earned her BA from Georgetown University and her MFA from the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign. She is a professor of art at the College of St. Benedict | St. John’s University. She lives with her family on Dakota and Anishinaabe lands in Minnesota.
