From the artist's website:

Saba Taj is a visual artist based in Durham, NC. Inspired by beauty, queerness, and Islam, Taj engages with representation as a resilience practice. Their work includes mixed-media drawing, painting, and collage, as well as sewing and performance. Through these techniques, Taj explores the liminality of minoritized individuals as an embodiment of resistance, hope and possibility.

Saba Taj's work has been featured in several recent exhibitions at prominent North Carolina museums including Reckoning and Resilience: North Carolina Art Now at the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University in Durham, NC Artists Exhibition at CAM Raleigh, and Coined in the South at The Mint Museum in Charlotte.
