Hassan, Fathi (b. 1957, Cairo, Egypt) is a Nubian artist of Egyptian-Sudanese descent based in Edinburgh, Scotland. The construction of the Aswan High Dam in the 1960s forced his family to abandon their village in the Nubian desert and relocate to Cairo — an event that marks the origin of his diasporic experience and the foundation of his artistic practice. He is a pioneer and the first African diaspora artist to exhibit outside the national pavilions at the 43rd Venice Biennale in 1988.

Over a career spanning more than four decades, Hassan has participated in major international exhibitions including the Sharjah Biennial 15, the 9th Cairo International Biennial, and solo exhibitions at the Clark Museum in Atlanta, the Williams Museum of Art in Massachusetts, and Richard Saltoun Gallery in London, among many others. His work is held in the permanent collections of the Victoria & Albert Museum, the British Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of African Art, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Sharjah Art Foundation, the Barjeel Foundation, the Stanford Museum, and the Sammlung Scharf-Gerstenberg Collection in Berlin, among others. He has been included in major surveys including African Artists: From 1882 to Now (Phaidon, 2021) and Lumières Africaines (Langages du Sud, 2018).
