Biography

Hawazin Alotaibi (B.1993) is a Saudi-American interdisciplinary artist, curator, DJ and music producer who earned her BA in Painting at the University of the Arts London and an MA in Painting at the Royal College of Art.
Hawazin lives and works in London, UK.

Hawazin works primarily with painting, audio, photo, and video editing. Her current work examines the notions of gender, masculinity, and self-representation on social media in the ever-changing cultural and political dynamics in the Arab world, specifically Gulf countries. She explores those themes through experimentation with motion glitches and distortions of paintings, photographs taken, or collected imagery from social media platforms and gender portrayal imagery from encountered cultural and religious books.
