Helene Kazan is an artist and writer. Drawing on feminist methods, her work explores the use of poetics in expressing and translating the experience of violence. By investigating the colonial foundations of international law and their ongoing violent impact, the artist’s work privileges embodied knowledge in the form of poetic testimony. This process looks towards expanded frameworks of reparative justice—in interaction with and recognition by the law and beyond. Kazan’s work has been exhibited and published widely across international institutions, including KARST, Plymouth (2024); Beirut Art Center (2023); e-flux (2022); maat ext. & Art Jameel (2022); Ashkal Alwan, Beirut (2019); Vera List Center, New School, New York (2018); Serpentine Gallery, London (2017); Tate, London (2015); and House of World Cultures (HKW), Berlin (2014). A senior lecturer in fine art, she received her doctorate from the Centre for Research Architecture, Goldsmiths, University of London (2019).
