Razan Ali is an experimental artist, painter and sculptor based in Tkaronto, Ontario. Most recently, she has exhibited at It's Ok Studios, Lakeshore Arts and has completed the Black Artist Residency at Gibraltar Point with artists Marcus Syrus Ware and Ravyn Wyngz. She has also worked with designers such as Michael Lee Poy doing environmental work rooted in the community in Trinidad and Tobago.In her practice lately, she examines and draws upon the ways in which she experienced the most direct form of generational knowledge through parenting and learned behaviors from the adults around her. She was always deeply immersed in her culture so connecting to her ancestral core was second nature to her. She has a community that reflects her Sudanese culture back to her which can be both taunting and extremely validating, and she aims to push the visibility of her people and ancestors in a positive and undeniable light. Always and unequivocably, her culture connects her to her Nubian foremothers who were brave, bold, gentle, beautiful and survivalistic.Her work has been predominantly centred around showing divine femininity through depicting Sudanese women and families in positions of power, in domesticated spaces, and in moments of rest; both as a means to humanize, and to depoliticise black and Sudanese bodies at large. Her work continues to be an exploration of the lost history in Sudan, while giving visibility to the information that she finds on her journey.
