Rana Hamadeh undertakes artistic research in discursive projects that grow and evolve over several years and take manifest form in theatrical performances, sound compositions, interactive audiovisual installations, and system designs as well as pedagogical setups. In thematic terms, her work is dedicated to an ongoing scrutiny of the epistemologies and technologies of justice, examining tropes of violence that find their genealogies in both spectacular and mundane instances in history and contemporary culture.

Since 2016, Hamadeh has been developing an “operatic practice,” experimenting with writing and composing and testing out models for collective thinking and study. Her works are rooted in interdisciplinary research and operate at the interfaces of various fields such as theater, theosophy, epidemiology, legal theory, translational practices, and technology. Constantly shifting and reframing the theoretical and aesthetic categories that she engages with, Hamadeh deliberately trespasses the logic of classificatory systems by pursuing the implications of different and even contradictory arguments and unfolding expansive webs of associations and constructs.
