multidisciplinary Artist

Balqis Alrashed is a multidisciplinary Saudi artist examining alienation and power dynamics through installations, videos, and public interventions. Raised in Beirut and now based in Riyadh, her work is positioned at the threshold of dichotomies and explores my relationship with the powers that govern our bodies. She draw inspiration from personal experiences and uses her body, the audience, and public spaces as raw material to act out what cannot be expressed in language. Her practice has evolved from physically embodying disruption to a more analytical approach, focusing on space, myth, and iconography. Her work, informed by her diverse experiences and enriched by numerous participations in prestigious residencies such as Delfina Foundation, Berlin Art Institute, and Sharjah Art Foundation, showcases a unique perspective on the human condition and the complexities of contemporary society.
