ID: A green graphic that reads: The Political Body in Solo and Collaborative Performance, nasa4nasa (Salma AbdelSalam & Noura Seif Hassanein) and Sahar Damoni.

In this candid conversation, artists Salma AbdelSalam, Sahar Damoni, and Noura Seif Hassanein will discuss the research, practices, and questions that inform their choreographic process and performance work. In this dialogue, the artists are considering the curiosities, challenges, and implications of the political body, nationality, the shift of gaze, power dynamics, and feeling of their bodies on display when performing their work outside of the context it was conceived for. The conversation also reflects upon and questions the conditions of collaboration/creation and what possibilities can emerge when thinking beyond the scope of more established infrastructures.
