Rad Hourani

Biography

Nationality: Canada
Rad Hourani is an interdisciplinary artist who uses the mediums of sculpture, painting, architecture, photography, costume, instruction, performance, textile, printmaking, curation, text, sound, and video to highlight the labels that are used to code and categorize human beings. His hybrid artistic approach revolves around the foundations and contexts of geopolitical, religious, sexual, and economic social systems. Questioning established boundaries and hierarchies, Rad practice in the visual arts seeks to revolutionize these structures into evolving manifestations of activism.

Between 2005 and 2007, Rad Hourani invented the first gender-neutral patterns, in addition to a non-gendered sizing system specific to a complete unisex wardrobe. In October 2007, he introduced the first entirely gender-neutral ready-to-wear collection in fashion history via a runway performance. In 2012, he was approached by the "Chambre Syndicale de la Haute Couture" in Paris to become an "invited member". In January 2013, Rad Hourani became the first to create and present a unisex couture collection in the history of "Haute Couture". His revolutionary concept of gender-neutral collections aims to initiate a dialogue on non-binarity through the medium of costume. Defending a baseline of equality, Rad Hourani's work has paved the way for boundary-pushing creations of the future, using non-binary terms such as genderless, agender, genderfluid, non-gendered, all-gender, human, and others.
