Raghad Resres

Raghad will take part in Väst på fjället, a contemporary art program in rural northern Sweden, with her project Resistance is an Amulet. The project will be presented as part of three concurrent solo exhibitions hosted inside a former school building in Karlsbäck. As part of the program, Raghad will showcase her solo exhibition Talismans and Enhancements on Unveiling the Lords of Empire , which celebrates indigenous healing practices and reimagines them in contemporary contexts as living acts of healing and knowledge. The work explores the effects of anti-colonial resistance on both the matter and the psyche, examining how these experiences can be embodied through contemporary spiritual amulets that serve as forms of protection and healing from Israeli and American colonial violence. Her participation will foster artistic and research exchange with Swedish and international artists and institutions within an environment dedicated to experimental practices and sustained dialogue.
