Faheem Majeed is a builder, literally and metaphorically. A resident of the South Shore neighborhood in Chicago, Majeed often looks to the material makeup of his neighborhood and surrounding areas as an entry point into larger questions around civic-mindedness, community activism, and institutional critique. Majeed transforms materials such as scrap metal and wood, particle board, and discarded signs and billboard remnants, breathing new life into these often overlooked and devalued materials.
