Urok Shirhan Read Bio Collapse
Situated at the intersection of performance, visual arts, and critical theory, Urok Shirhan’s practice explores the politics of image, sound, and speech in relation to power and affect. Working with sound, video, and writing, her projects entangle with found materials and narratives, both historical and current, often as informed by her family’s history of political migrations. Her latest body of research considers the role of sound (and the voice in particular) concerning forms of collectivity, dissent, and belonging. Recent presentations include the Mosaic Rooms (London), Onassis Stegi (Athens), Casco Institute (Utrecht), and MoMA PS1 (New York).
