Ola Hassanain
Ola Hassanain works between Amsterdam and Khartoum. In her practice, through various mediums, she focuses on developing spatial literacy through the idea of ‘space as discourse’. Her practice engages with places shaped by climate instability, postcolonial legacies, and displacement, thinking through the politics of inhabiting and how ecological and social systems shape one another across time.
Her work is informed by the cultural, political, and socio-political shifts in Khartoum including her own experiences and her current family’s diaspora. Since then she has been at the Rijksakademie Residency 2021-2023, BAK fellowship 2017-2018, and teaching in HKU University of the Arts Utrecht and Sandberg Institute amongst others.
