Artistic Work

Stories that connect personal experience with collective memory.

My artistic practice is rooted in the power of storytelling to connect personal experiences with collective memory. Through poetry, performance, sound, movement and visual narratives, I explore questions of identity, displacement, belonging, resistance and the human experience.

01 / Performance

Between Two Worlds

Multidisciplinary Performance

30 minutes · Available for Presentation & Further Development

Between Two Worlds is an intimate performance exploring the experience of living between homeland and exile.

Through storytelling, poetry, recorded sounds, movement and song, I invite audiences into a journey through memories of childhood in Gaza, the experience of leaving home and the complexities of building a life elsewhere.

The performance explores how memory lives within the body, how home continues to exist across distance, and how grief and hope can coexist.

Originally presented as a 30-minute work, Between Two Worlds is now being developed into a longer multidisciplinary performance, incorporating visual projections, photographic archives and expanded sound design.

The project is open to artistic collaborations, co-productions, festival invitations and international touring opportunities.

02 / Poetry & Oral Storytelling

Words That Carry

Poetry and oral storytelling are central to my artistic expression. My performances bring together spoken word, personal testimony, song and collective reflection, exploring the intersections of memory, identity and social justice.

Artistic Collaborations

I welcome collaborations with artists, theatres, festivals, cultural organisations and creative producers across Europe.

I am currently seeking opportunities for performance presentations, artistic residencies, co-productions, international touring and funding partnerships to develop new multidisciplinary work.
