Samira Saidi

Samira Saidi is a Ghanaian-Austrian woman of colour whose practice aims to study and shift the sociological structures of race and belonging and explores the duality of intersectional identities through the body.

After completing her Bachelor’s Degree at the Royal Academy of Art, The Hague, Saidi began using photography and writing as the main mediums through which to bring her ideas into reality. In recent years, she has expanded her practice to include documentary photography, photojournalism, and performance art. Together, she uses these disciplines to create multimedia projects that seek to spark critical conversation around socio-economic topics. Saidi is currently studying Applied Human Rights at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.
