Rani Sharabati PALESTINIAN, b. 1993

Rani Sharabati (Palestinian, b. 1993) is a contemporary artist whose work traverses the space between the surreal and the lived experiences of the Palestinian citizens since the Nakba that reshaped the Palestinian landscape and collective consciousness. Sharabati’s art became a reflection of the challenges of the entrenched narratives and stereotypes that challenges his society to confront the multiple layers of identity-related complexities. 

He is known for his analysis and reconstruction from a very early age, opposite to the widespread belief of conventional beauty. His relationship with rebuilding his surroundings began early; as he walked through Palestine landscapes, they absorbed all their senses and transformed them into visual narratives replicating his insights, dreams, and reality through his lens. For him, art is a space of freedom; a continuous experiment in thought and imagination. It becomes a testimony to resilience and an invitation to the public to take part in the conversation, encouraging them to rethink their views and engage with the realities of a changing Palestine.
