Tarik Kiswanson was born in Sweden, where his Palestinian-born parents settled in the early 1980s. His work includes sculpture, writing, performance, drawing, audio and video, and often deals with themes of uprootedness, regeneration and renewal.

Tarik Kiswanson graduated with an MFA from the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris in 2014, having obtained his BFA from Central Saint Martins – University of the Arts, London, in 2010. He presented his retrospective exhibition titled Mirrorbody at the Carré d’Art – Musée d’Art Contemporain in 2021. He was awarded the Prix Marcel Duchamp in 2023.
