Huda Ahmed (born 1998) is a visual artist currently based in Lahore, Pakistan. She completed her BFA from the College of Art and Design, University of the Punjab, Lahore in 2020.

Huda’s art practice focuses on the slogans that individuals in our patriarchal society use to suppress and degrade women, in order to manipulate them into believing they cannot compete on par with men. As the artist notes, every woman in society has experienced some level of misogyny. Huda’s work presents to the viewer a lurid side of the psyche of society that is all too prevalent. In this way, she focuses on the plight of women who are suffering from this culture of sexism. In order to represent this pervasive mindset, she utilised the language of puzzles, which she made using a combination of metal sheets with magnetic bases. The reasoning behind Huda’s fascination with this medium is that it represents a harsh surface, which can easily embody the brutality of these slogans. For the written content of the puzzles, she used different misogynist slogans and chose to compose them using Urdu text, which helps maintain the harshness of these expressions. Huda has showcased her artworks numerous times in the Young Artist Exhibition.

Select artworks of Huda’s are housed within the permanent collection of the Ambiance Boutique Art Hotels.
