About Me

(they/them) is a queer and trans Palestinian multimedia artist and chef whose body of work is rooted in history, and reclaiming ancestral knowledge. Grounded in archival practices, their work preserves the everyday lives and memory of their loved ones as a way of asserting presence against erasure. Through intimate portraits, personal archives, and acts of witnessing, Rischmawi explores how culture is carried through time and space, asserting that love, care and storytelling are forms of resistance and breathing testaments to survival.
