Raghad Resres (b. 1996) is a Jordanian research-based artist of Palestinian descent. She holds a master's degree in Fine Arts from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden. And a bachelor's degree in Literature and Cultural Studies from Hashemite University, Jordan.
Her art has found a platform in multiple international and national venues, including Hammarkullen Konsthall (2024), GIBCA Extended (2023), The KUNO Biennial (2023), Dar Art Fair (2022), Micro Galleries (2020), and refugee camps.
Raghad received several art and research grants from Stiftelsen Carl Olsons stipendiefond, Adlerbertska stipendier, Arnulfska stipendiefonden, and the Axel Adler Scholarship.
Her artistic practice sits at the intersection of conceptual art, theatre, and performance, where she explores themes of motion, perception, and sensory bodily experiences. For Raghad, as a research-based artist, each project has a research process that determines the specific methodologies, media, and mediums to be used in accordance with the specific sense of the research inquiry.
Raghad operates through feminist spatial practices. Her works address issues related to gender and power dynamics. She is particularly invested in women's embodied relations in marginalised areas and refugee contexts, which are intricately linked to and influenced by the social and political consequences of refuge and colonisation.
