Raghad Resres

I am Raghad Resres, a Jordanian Palestinian research-based artist. I hold an MFA in Fine Arts from the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, and a BA in Literature and Cultural Studies from The Hashemite University, Jordan.

My practice operates at the intersection of textile art, spiritual medicine, and liberation psychology. Through talisman-making, ritual gatherings, and the writing of spiritual mujarrabāt/ tested spiritual prescriptions, I investigate how the epistemic-healing logic of Arab spiritual medicine can continue operating to confront colonial violence on cognitive and psychological levels.

My work has been presented in diverse contexts , ranging from refugee camps to solo and group exhibitions both locally and internationally, including in Sweden, Lithuania, France, and Jordan.

My art has been acquired by Göteborg Konst, Tobison Foundation HDK -Valand Archive Collection, and private collections in Jordan and Sweden.

I have received several art and research grants including  Wijhat grant, Stiftelsen Carl Olsons stipendiefond, Adlerbertska stipendier, and Arnulfska stipendiefonden.
