How do we move through catastrophe? This Studies Project, organized by Shirine Saad, is an invitation to reflect on contemporary movement practices from feminist and queer artists from the Arab* world, as a collective poetic of resistance, decolonization and unworlding. We will draw connections between dancers, performance artists, and other artists (for example, Mona Hatoum, Sahar Damoni, nasa4nasa, Samaa Wakim, and Tania El Khoury), rooting their practices within recent artistic and activist scenes and theories and ancient regional philosophies, aesthetics and history — from Mesopotamian rituals to the music of Ancient Egypt and Sufism. Together we will imagine a total poetic of noise that unravels the dynamics of White Supremacist cis hetero patriarchal domination.
