MA PERFORMANCE MAKING, GOLDSMITHS

I'm an Algeria-born, Kuwait-raised, Muslim visual artist and creative producer based between London and Manchester.

I graduated from the Manchester School of Art in 2017 with a First Class Honours degree in Fine Art and Art History and was awarded the MSoA Prize for my final Degree Show.

My work in the creative industry predominantly spans across performance and imagery while exploring multidisciplinary forms. Artistically, my practice tends to deconstruct the different interpretations of societal notions within the context of the diasporic and Muslim identities while propelling the perception of social behaviour as a historical product.

I use creative language to create conversational spaces that aim to challenge the image and perceptions of Muslim and POC narratives. With a focus on performance-based work, I intend to take further steps into the diversification of artistic platforms while challenging the current obstacles faced by Muslims in the creative sector.
