Helene Kazan is an artist and writer. Drawing on feminist methodologies, Kazan’s work explores how radical poetics can express and translate the experience of violence. Investigating the colonial foundations of international law and its violent impact today, her work privileges embodied knowledge in the form of poetic testimony. As the process makes attempts towards expanded frameworks of reparative justice, in its interaction and recognition by the law and beyond.
Kazan’s work has been exhibited and published with institutions internationally including: Sharjah Biennial 16 (2025); Beirut Art Center (2023); Mosaic Rooms, London (2023); e-flux (2022); maatEXT & Art Jameel (2022); Ashkal Alwan, Beirut (2019); Vera List Center, New School, NYC (2018); Serpentine Gallery, London (2017); Tate, London (2015); House of World Cultures (HKW), Berlin (2014) and The Showroom, London (2013). Kazan received her doctorate from the Centre for Research Architecture at Goldsmiths, University of London (2019) and is a Senior Lecturer in Critical Theory in Fine Art at Oxford Brookes University.
