Rawan Hassan (she/her) is an interdisciplinary visual artist based on the unceded and unsurrendered land of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations, colonial known as “Vancouver”. Her works explored the complex relationship between preserving and evolving Palestinian textile traditions, such as tatreez (embroidery). As well as charcoal and ink landscape drawings. She does so through studying and making said traditions through a diasporic lens. She also simultaneously explores materials that embodies the questions of what was and what could possibly be. She hopes that her practice might open up the conversations on Palestinian identity, grief, resilience, resistance against erasure, ongoing occupation, colonization and potential forms of Palestinian futurism.
