Nadia Kaabi-Linke (born 1978) is a Tunis-born, Berlin-based visual artist best known for her conceptual art and 2011 sculpture Flying Carpets.

Caitlin Woolsey of Jadaliyya wrote that the work recalled city development-induced displacement policies and symbolized the mass that formed the United Arab Emirates, the country where the piece was installed (Sharjah Art Museum).

[17] Kaabi-Linke drew inspiration from a bridge in Venice where Arab and African street vendors used carpets to show counterfeit wares.

[5] The Financial Times said that Flying Carpets established the artist as among the few "capable of crafting complex socio-political histories into an organic, autonomous poetry".

[19] The artist's 2012 commentary work, Smell, displayed the Shahada Muslim declaration of faith in jasmine atop a black flag, symbols of Islamic extremism and Tunisia, respectively.

[18] The same year, after meeting many survivors of domestic violence during her 2012 residency in the London Delfina Foundation, Kaabi-Linke wanted to publicize the prevalence of the often marginalized crime.

[7] She created a work, Impunities London Originals, in 2012 using prints of scars from domestic violence,[17] depicted in black powder smudges on paper.

[7] Impunities London exhibited alongside other works in the theme of masculine overreach at her 2015 second solo show in the Lawrie Shabibi gallery of Dubai.

Grindballs, Hardballs, and Bangballs (2015) captured sand, cement, and pollen inside bubble wrap to reflect the masculine impulse to exploit the environment.

A Short Story of Salt and Sun (2013), an ink and wax painting, comes from a print of a Tunisian resort's eroded wall to reflect on the inescapable erosion of man's creations and the decline of tourism in Tunisia.

[7] Artforum's Stephanie Bailey wrote that Kaabi-Linke was both concise and sincere", with a "severity" offset by the "lightness" with which she navigates topical issues.

[8] The M+ Museum of Visual Culture bought Modulor I, part of the Kaabi-Linke's Art Basel Hong Kong Discoveries Prize showing, in 2014.

A performance at the show ran its duration, wherein volunteers circled two poles while unraveling the 3,000 kilometers of thread, to create a symbolic wall that represents the length of the border the United States shares with Mexico.
