Roda Medhat is a Kurdish-born artist based in Toronto, Canada. His practice centers on textile as sculpture, examining how traditional West Asian and Kurdish textiles can be reimagined through new materials and forms. His work is grounded in themes of cultural preservation, archiving, and speculative or imagined spaces, often drawing on 3D scans, textbooks, and historical archives to reconstruct fragmented visual histories.

Roda is particularly drawn to large-scale sculptural works that blend heritage with the language of contemporary and pop culture. Through an intentional use of absurdity and exaggerated scale, he subverts expectations around cultural legibility, material, and meaning.
