Nadia Kaabi-Linke is a Tunis-born, Berlin-based visual artist known for her conceptual practice and her 2011 sculpture Flying Carpets. Her work explores themes of geopolitics, migration, and transnational identity. Raised between Tunis, Kyiv, Dubai, and Paris, she studied at the Tunis Institute of Fine Arts and earned a Ph.D. in philosophy of art from the Sorbonne. Winner of the 2011 Abraaj Group Art Prize, she created Flying Carpets, a suspended cage-like sculpture casting geometric shadows reminiscent of Venetian Street vendors’ carpets. The piece was acquired by the Guggenheim Museum in 2016 through the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative. Kaabi-Linke also won the Discoveries Prize at Art Basel Hong Kong 2014, and her works are held in major international collections and museums.
