Ola Hassanain
Ola Hassanain leads a critical spatial practice as a visual artist with architecture training. Ola premises her work on an idea of “space as political discourse" an expanded notion of space, that tries to develop spatial literacy which can aid us to imagine different political ecologies. Ola's development of critical spatial practice is partly informed by her post-academic training; a current teaching role at KABK Royal academy of Art in the Hague, a Rijksakademie residency 2021-2023, BAK basis voor kunst fellowship 2017-2018, main tutor and co-development of the Blackerblackness Master course Sandberg Instituut 2021- 2023, teaching ‘Art in Context’ at HKU University of the Arts Utrecht at the Fine Art Department. Ola’s work was exhibited in a Solo at Buro Stedelijk 2024, Hartwig Art Foundation commission showing at Casco Art Institute 2021, Ghana Contemporary Art Foundation 2023, Chicago Architecture Biennial 2019 and Sharjah Architecture Triennale 2019.
