Randa Mirza

Born in 1978 in Beirut, Lebanon
Lives and works between Marseille, France and Beirut, Lebanon.
Randa Mirza is a visual artist who works with photography, video, installation, and performance. Rooted in a feminist and decolonial discourse, her artistic practice questions hegemonic systems of thought and standardised representations. By making current symbolic, social, and political constructions visible, her work questions the point of view of the gaze, and the contexts in which images are produced and received, bringing to light what is forgotten or intentionally hidden. As a space for reflection, reparation, and resistance in the face of violence, her work falls somewhere between documentary, personal expression, and artistic writing.
