About Khalid Kodi
Khalid Kodi is a Sudanese-American artist, educator, and cultural critic whose practice centers on participatory art as a vehicle for dialogue across social, cultural, and political difference in the United States and Africa. Working across sculpture, painting, installation, and environmental art, his work has been widely exhibited and published nationally and internationally. Kodi’s exhibitions integrate artistic production with outreach and education, advancing themes of peace, human dignity, and cultural memory. Alongside his conceptual and political practice, he creates aesthetic paintings and installations rooted in traditional storytelling and magical realism, synthesizing color, rhythm, symbols, and figures through richly layered textures. Kodi teaches at Northeastern University.
