Fiona Aboud — pronounced Abood — is a Brazilian-American multidisciplinary artist and impact-driven creator whose work bridges photography, performance, sculpture, public intervention, digital media, and emerging technologies. Her practice asks how art can move beyond representation to become a living system of care: one that redistributes attention, resources, and responsibility toward urgent human needs.

With a background in photography and digital media, Aboud explores themes of identity, resilience, historical preservation, social justice, and digital sovereignty. Her interest in blockchain as a tool for social impact was shaped in part by her work in Sierra Leone, where she witnessed the difficulty of moving resources directly, transparently, and efficiently to communities that need support. This experience deepened her commitment to using emerging technologies not as spectacle, but as infrastructure for care, accountability, and redistribution.

Her projects often challenge traditional power structures and imagine new systems for recording, protecting, and redistributing value. In The Basics, Aboud created a portrait and interview series asking people what they would do if they received a basic income, exploring economic dignity, public misconceptions around poverty, and the human imagination that becomes possible when survival is less precarious. One of her most notable works, Flamin-go with Love, merges physical and digital art to address the UN Sustainable Development Goals, particularly the eradication of poverty.

Aboud’s artistic philosophy is rooted in activism, social justice, and community-building, using art as both protest and proposition. Across her practice, she uses art, technology, and public engagement to disrupt outdated systems and imagine more inclusive futures. Her work has been exhibited internationally and continues to resonate with collectors, activists, and communities committed to art as a force for social transformation.
