​Rowen Lobo (they/them) is a Kuwait born, South Asian artist and writer currently based on xwməθkwəy̓əm, Sḵwx̱wú7mesh and səlilwətaɬ territories. Combining multi disciplines and dialects, they work in  printmaking, painting, drawing, movement and language. Indebted to those in abolitionist, feminist, anti-imperialist and anti-capitalist movements across time and space, Rowen’s work exists alongside; as space for connectivity and reciprocity, to unlearn and relearn, to care for and love each other fiercely. Their work is a love letter to all those who resist, by any means necessary.

​The river remembers everything

Planted along the ocean’s edge; yearning for mobility, connection and belonging. The shoreline becomes a place for dreaming about land without constructed borders; between departure and remaining, soil and seawater, immobile and free flowing.
