Ramadan's fields of specialization are visual and mobile aesthetics, multi-cultural studies and inter-media comparison, capitalizing on visual conflicts such as the media giant CNN versus Al-Jazeera. He has curated and coordinated several projects for Nifca (Nordic Institute for Contemporary Art) such as Clockwise; Art Error Ism; and Under Construction. Ramadan has also published several articles in international art magazines, most recently “Special Dossier” in ATLANTICA (no. 35, 2003).

It describes how expatriates become “authors” of their own identity and the processes by which they constantly draft and redraft themselves in a virtual/personal logic. The presented works negotiate such quarrel and attempt to re-construct the post-colonial identity and the perception of cultural primacy in the age of networking and mass migration.
