RAMZIA JAWARA
Bio
I am an interdisciplinary artist and holistic practitioner and writer, working across Moving Image, performance, and photography to explore themes of decolonial healing and female resilience. My practice is deeply rooted in storytelling, using immersive and multisensory approaches to challenge oppressive narratives and foster empathy. Central to my work is the lived experience of black female bodies and their intersections with identity, body politics, and healing.
I examine altered states of consciousness as pathways to freedom, authenticity, and holistic healing. My works interrogate the patriarchal and colonial frameworks that have shaped perceptions of the black female body and experience—both its objectification in the Global North and its repression in parts of the Global South. Through movement, sound, and visual storytelling, I seek to create spaces that honour resilience, autonomy, and the reclamation of cultural traditions.
