About the director

Razan Alsalah

Razan works through a wide range of images, texts and installation practices that investigate the politics of disappearance/appearance of places and bodies in worlds of colonial imagery, breaking down these viewpoints in other places where colonialism no longer makes sense. She has shown her work at community and international film festivals and galleries. Razan herself teaches moving images and intermediate products at Concordia University in Tiohtià:ke (Montreal).
