An artist classified as BIPOC, queer, and neurodivergent, Rad multidisciplinary practice challenges the categorical preconceptions of identity as created by society and its established hierarchies. His anthropological studies involve lengthy research throughout his processes that aim to revive crucial debates on prejudices and open dialogues on issues of inclusion and inequality. Delving into these explorations demonstrates the structures based on the connotations associated with a subject, including various media, regarding its history and its evolution. The work honors art's ability to activate the human senses, which is projected as a connecting link between concepts. Rad looks at the genetics of categorization and how they are generated. For Rad, this is an act of radically de-compartmentalizing narratives to invite us to question the ways in which we function and to envision an existence free from limitations and conditioning. 

Rad was invited to teach and lecture to spread his knowledge beyond the artistic or academic community in Seoul, Dubai, Beijing, Paris, Berlin, Tbilisi, New York, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, London, and other cities, as well as at various institutions, including the Centre Pompidou, FIT Museum, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, UQÀM, and École du Louvre. He was a member of the jury of numerous art and film festivals and programmed a "carte blanche” at Le FIFA. He has curated solo and group exhibitions by diverse artists in public art establishments. His large knowledge and creative expertise have been implemented in private consulting, mentoring, and art direction for countless clients. Rad collaborates with the LGBTQIA2S+ community and projects on feminism and diversity with contemporary artists such as Lady Gaga, Larry Clark, Rihanna, Chinawoman, Jared Leto, Nick Cave, Shirine Neshat, Édouard Lock, and Thundercat. Rad Hourani's work has been featured internationally in publications such as the New York Times, Interview, Vogue, WSJ, Aesthetica, Elle, Time, V, National Geographic, Surface, i-D, The Cut, Vanity Fair, Dazed, GQ, Rolling Stone, BBC, Harper's Bazaar, The Guardian, Forbes, Nowness, etc. His artworks are held in private collections and museums worldwide.

This nonconformist artist (innovator, sculptor, researcher, architect, teacher, philosopher, activist, etc.) seeks to propose, transmit, collaborate, and nurture even further the idea we might have of the arts through his activism. The ideas he puts forward are universal and inclusive, always ensuring that marginalized communities are represented in his work through a unifying prism. His work has been presented in partnership with the Graham Foundation, the Canadian Center for Architecture (CCA), the City of Chicago, the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCASE), the Joan W. and Irving B. Harris Theater, Sherbrooke University, Wesleyan University, the Centre Culturel Canadien à Paris, and endorsed by Sidney Toledano of Christian Dior Couture, Franca Sozzani and Anna Wintor of Palazzo Morando Museum, Phoebe Greenberg of Fondation PHI, Pierre Bergé, and François-Henri Pinault of Andam, supported by the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs and the New York State Arts Council, Fonderie Darling, and the Arsenal. Rad participated in residencies at Artexte and is a grant recipient of the Conseil des arts et des lettres du Québec and the Canada Council of the Arts.
