Adam Rouhana × Amah-Rose Abrams "The Logic of Truth"

Speakers Speakers

• Adam Rouhana (KYOTOGRAPHIE 2025 Artist)

  

  Adam Rouhana (b. 1991, Boston, MA) is a Palestinian-American artist and photographer based between Jerusalem and London. Rouhana's photography deconstructs orientalism through his subjective lens within the broader context of Palestine. Through his investigations, he questions his positionality as a Palestinian behind the camera, both as a Westerner, having grown up in America, and as an Arab. Rouhana received his masters degree from the University of Oxford.
  
  Rouhana's work embraces themes of the past and introduces new narratives to create a contemporary view of Palestine. His work is characterised by representations of Palestinian lives that embody an active ethic of self-determination. Rouhana is often inspired by scenes of his grandmother's fruit orchard and domestic life from his early memories in Palestine.
  His work has appeared in The New York Times, Aperture, and Dazed.
