Soad Kader is a mixed media artist working within the realms of analog and digital to create both muted and vibrant silhouettes. Through manipulation of paper cutting and placement and incorporating photography to capture the final product, Kader elaborates on human’s interconnectedness in her series “Inner Worlds” (I & II). ⁠

Kader’s “process and medium speak to our flexibility and fluidity - past, present, future taking a peek into the layered and textured topography of our ever-changing inner worlds.” Kader spent her childhood in Cairo, Egypt and has been in the Mission district for 24 years. She finds commonalities between both locales due to their energy and colorful aura. Her own history is a factor infused into her work as she utilizes diverse personalities in each of her profiles. ⁠

Soad Kader is the 2021 SF Open Studios Campaign Collateral Competition winner! Because her work harnesses inner vivaciousness, her “Inner Worlds II” graces the cover of our SFOS 2021 Guide, billboards around San Francisco, posters, and more! ⁠
