Mohammad Tabesh (he/him) is an engineer turned artist residing and working in Toronto. His practice is focused on the human condition, the art of resistance, and art and social change. His current project, The Book of Fading Memories, is a body of work inspired by the artist’s personal experience of war, violence, and censorship. Through writing, printmaking, multimedia, and sculpture, Tabesh explores modes of storytelling in which narrative is embedded in the artwork. By sharing his memories from a child’s point of view, Tabesh conveys these stories in a deeply human and universal language, avoiding the cliché of shock and horrors of war on one hand, and the abstract notion of war far away on the other hand. Mohammad is the 2020 recipient of the OCAD University’s Sculpture and Installation medal.
