Her work also stems from personal connections: since the teenager is in line with his father’s homeland, Paraíba. This emotional and family bond nourishes an artistic and spiritual pursuit, leading to the “OS Encantados,” a project at the intersection of photography, verbal storytelling and historical anthropological analysis. This work sheds light on the history, struggle and spirituality of the jury that makes the community possible while challenging the dominant narrative of Brazilian identity. It celebrates a lively heritage and pays homage to those who live, defend and dream of this land, a world that is both obsessed and deeply rooted in reality. ”
About the Artist
Romane Iskaria is a French photographer and artist working in Brussels, Belgium (1997). She graduated from Ensav la Cambre’s Master of Photography in 2022 and received a DNA (National Diploma in Plastics Arts) from Inseaam Beaux Arts from Marseille in 2018.
Photographers emphasize injustice and inequality in invisible communities through documentary and fictional approaches. Her image is specific to “Nursing,” tells a story and makes her subjects aware of their pain.
Artists use photography and video fields, and also use textiles, sounds and sculptures to create immersive installations. She tells the story of long-term investigation forms on several territories. Romane replays specific rituals and stories that also go beyond the boundaries and solve problems about migration and exile. The photographer created the plastic form that allowed her to subvert the documentary’s code.
Romane is a TIFF winner in 2024, produced by Fomu Fotomuseum Antwerpen and European Platform Futures Photography.
