Info

Amanda Assaley's practice is shaped by a sensitivity to peripheral spaces and the forms of vernacular life that emerge under pressure. Articulating images, objects, text, and film through a sculptural language, instability and accumulation become formal grounds through which she examines political desires and mutations. Her works treat method as both a structural and investigative condition, materializing the processes through which meaning and political life are organized and felt. In this sense, Assaley’s works act as exercises in, or conduits for, struggle.

Assaley is based between Doha, Qatar, and Frankfurt am Main, Germany. She received a Meisterschülerin from the Städelschule in 2024 under Prof. Hassan Khan and holds a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Currently, she is part of the Fire Station’s 2025–2026 Arts Intensive Study Program (AISP) in Doha. Her work has been shown at Mouhit (Tunis), the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts Museum, the Chicago Cultural Center, and the Soo Visual Art Center (Minneapolis), among others. A solo monograph of her work will be published in 2026 by Huner Francis in Braddock, Pennsylvania.
