Nadra Hassan

Nadra Hassan (b. 1995, Afmadow, Somalia) is a Norway-based filmmaker currently studying at Filmkunstskolen i Kabelvåg/Gávvalváhki in the Lofoten archipelago in Northern Norway. Working primarily with experimental film, she approaches moving image as an artistic research practice through which questions of heritage, faith, and situated belonging are materially and temporally negotiated. Her practice investigates the relational space between Somali cultural memory and Islamic epistemology within contemporary Nordic contexts. For Hassan, film becomes both a method and a site for examining how identity is constructed, fragmented, and reassembled across time and geographies. Her work has been exhibited at the Arctic Moving Images & Film Festival (AMIFF) in Harstad (2024). Beyond production, Hassan engages in curatorial and pedagogical formats, programming public screenings in collaboration with Palestinakomiteen Lofoten (The Palestinian Committee in Lofoten), and contributing to student-led exhibitions in Kabelvåg/Gávvalváhki (Norway/Sápmi).

Hassan takes part in the June Exhibition 2026, titled Shifting Coordinates.
