Filwa Nazer is a Saudi multi-media artist. She lives and works in Jeddah.

Nazer began her creative journey as a fashion designer and graduated from Milan’s Marangoni school of Fashion and design. Her practice ranges from digital print, collage, textile to appropriation of photography and centers around questioning the emotional and psychological identity in relation to spatial and social contexts.

In her recent practice the artist employed textiles and sewing techniques as a medium to explore relationships between our bodies & the spaces we occupy, thus unveiling an intimate experimental process that reflects the tensions inherent in both.

Filwa participated in several exhibitions which include: State of Fashion Biennale, Holland (2024), DESERT X, Al Ula (2024), Perceptible Rhythms, Alternative temporalities at Middle east Institute Washington (2022), La Biennale de Lyon, France (2022), Diriyah Biennale (2021), Saudi Modern, Jeddah (2021).
