Karim Boumjimar graduated with an MFA from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, Copenhagen and holds a BFA from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. Boumjimar works with performance, painting, sculpture, installation, and drawing. His works often depict queer people and communities and explore ways in which queerness can be both beautiful and challenging by diving into the complexities of identity, intimacy, and social dynamics.
