Soraia Khawari (b. 1995) is a Norwegian-based visual artist and photographer born in Iran with Afghan roots. Her work explores questions of identity, migration, and belonging across generations and cultural contexts. Working between documentary practice and a poetic sensibility, she investigates how displacement shapes lived experience — not only as a past event, but as an ongoing condition carried in the body, memory, and everyday life. Through portraiture and personal narratives, she creates space for nuanced representations of women often reduced to simplified narratives, allowing them to emerge in their full human complexity. Rooted in her own experience of navigating multiple cultural frameworks, her practice reflects an ongoing inquiry into what it means to live across and between cultures — seeking not to provide easy answers, but to open room for reflection.
