Director Biography - Rachel Ara

Conceptual and Data artist Rachel Ara graduated with a Fine Art BA from Goldsmiths College, London, where she won the prestigious Burston award.

Her work is nonconformist with a socio-political edge that often incorporates humour and irony with feminist & queer concerns.

Ara has just been shortlisted for the forthcoming Lumen Prize for her work D.O.A.M IV (The Death of Ana Mendieta). She currently lives and works in London.
