Aki Hassan is a visual artist, whose work is concerned by the varying forms of dependencies evolved within fictive kinships. Through their sculptural installations and experimental comics, Aki speculates on trans* embodiment and bodily (con)sequences. They see their practice as a tool to locate strengths, resistance, precarity and imbalances in exchange, whilst carefully disentangling normative imaginaries of support and care.
