Tamara Al-Mashouk is a London-based Palestinian-Saudi artist. Through multi-channel video, performance, and architectural installation, her work examines the displacement of people both on intimate and global scales, and negotiates the relationship between home, memory and collective histories. As a socially engaged practitioner, Al-Mashouk investigates the fracture as a site of possibility and expands epigenetics beyond the body into place and matter. Her work addresses the intersections of personal histories, global migratory narratives, and identity. Rooted in anti-racist, de-colonial, and anti-imperialist frameworks she engages with notions of belonging, ancestry, and healing. The work is positioned in response to Eurocentric, orientalist, and colonial/neo-colonial gazes that seek to control, exoticize, vilify, and oversimplify Arab bodies and stories. In her curatorial capacity, centering topics of anti-racism, decolonization, and social justice, Al-Mashouk hosts gatherings that carve vital space for connection within the diasporic Arab communities in London.
