Her work is also rooted in a personal connection: the one she has maintained since adolescence with the region of Paraíba, her father’s homeland. This emotional and familial bond nourishes an artistic and spiritual quest, giving rise to “Os Encantados”, a project at the crossroads of photography, oral storytelling, and historical-anthropological analysis. This work sheds light on the histories, struggles, and spiritualities of the Jurema communities, while challenging dominant narratives about Brazilian identity. It celebrates a living heritage and tribute to those who inhabit, defend, and dream this land, a world both enchanted and deeply grounded in reality.”

About the artist

Romane Iskaria is a French photographer and artist working in Brussels, Belgium (1997). She graduated with a Master’s degree in photography from ENSAV La Cambre in 2022 and a DNA (National Diploma in Plastic Arts) from INSEAAM Beaux Arts in Marseille in 2018. She also completed an exchange at the U-LAVAL Visual Arts school in Quebec, Canada.

The photographer highlights the injustices and inequalities of invisible communities with a documentary and fictional approach. Her images, specific to “Care”, tell a story and allow her subjects to become aware of their painful stories.

The artist uses photography and the field of video, but also textiles, sound, and sculpture to create immersive installations. She tells stories that take the form of a long-term investigation across several territories. Romane replays specific rituals and stories that also transcend borders, addressing questions around migration and exile. The photographer creates plastic forms allowing her to subvert the codes of documentary.

Romane is laureate of TIFF 2024 Emerging Belgian Photography, by FOMU Fotomuseum Antwerpen and the european platform FUTURES Photography.
