​Zariq Rosita-Hanif

Zariq Rosita-Hanif is one of the exceptional artists engaging in our residency project Artists Connecting in Transition (ACT), which connects artists whose practice has been disrupted by forced displacement and addresses issues of equality for those with and without rights.   She is also taking part in Belonging, a new virtual exhibition that is part of ACT.

A self-taught artist, Zariq practices mixed media visual art using discarded materials from scrap stores and charity shops. Her body of work is based on the juxtaposition of Malaysian and British cultural and natural heritage. As a full time artist-illustrator, she has created the brand Malaygirl.UK and currently produces Batik work to stay in touch with her heritage as well as promote it. She is also a freelance illustrator for independent authors and nonprofit organisations. 

Through the ACT residency, she is taking the opportunity to convey the unheard/overlooked stories of Malaysian transgender asylum seekers in the UK through whimsical and fable-like storytelling in new work entitled Perempuan Macam Dia (The Women Like Her).

From her home in Gloucestershire, Zariq is expanding her portfolio by learning the Sampe’ (a traditional lute from Borneo) and writing children’s books and bilingual poetry (Malay-English).
