Muyassar Kurdi - Diasporic Dreams

Diasporic Dreams is a sonic ritual by interdisciplinary artist Muyassar Kurdi. Weaving voice together with electronic sound, Kurdi’s soundscape courses through ancestral memories, conjuring a tapestry of diasporic experiences. Diasporic Dreams is contemplative, journeying sonically into the spaces between identity, belonging, and collective memory.

About the artist

Muyassar Kurdi is a Palestinian-American New York City-based interdisciplinary artist. Her work encompasses sound art, extended vocal technique, performance art, movement, painting, analog photography, and film. Her practice honors the futuristic and ancient through meditative movements and sonic sound explorations. Centered on embodiment with a non-linear approach rooted in improvisation, she explores memory, displacement, and the body in relation to nature. Kurdi received the American Composer Forum’s Create 2024, Brooklyn Arts Fund 2024, and was a finalist in the Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship for Combined Disciplines 2023. Love is Blue, Kurdi’s solo interdisciplinary exhibition, opened in the Fall of 2023 at LaMaMa Gallery in NYC.
