Muyassar Kurdi is a Palestinian-American New York City–based interdisciplinary artist working across sound art, voice, movement, painting, analog photography, and film. Her practice honors both the futuristic and the ancient through meditative movement and sonic exploration. Centered on embodiment and a non-linear, improvisational approach, she explores memory, displacement, and the body in relation to nature.

Kurdi has received support from NYFA’s Women’s Fund for Music, American Composer Forum’s Create, Brooklyn Arts Fund, Queens Fund for New Works, NYFA City Artist Corps, Puffin Foundation, and Rauschenberg Emergency Grant. She was a finalist for the Jerome Hill Artist Fellowship in Combined Disciplines, commissioned by Roulette Intermedium, and supported by Jerome Foundation. Her work has been developed through residencies at Harvestworks, The Watermill Center, and Tilal Utique (Tunisia, supported by the Kamel Lazaar Foundation). Love is Blue, her solo interdisciplinary exhibition, opened in Fall 2023 at La MaMa Gallery in New York City. In 2025, she performed durational works of voice and movement within Otobong Nkanga’s exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. Her LP Mountains of Poetry was released in Fall 2025 with Bilna’es.

Performance highlights include Roulette Intermedium, Abrons Arts Center, Poetry Project, Center for Performance Research, Center for Art Research and Alliances, JACK Theatre, Lincoln Center, the Rubin Museum of Art, Issue Project Room, Chicago Cultural Center, Fridman Gallery, and Movement Research at Judson Church. She has also presented work through exhibitions and film screenings at Queens Museum, Spectacle Theater, Maysles Documentary Center, and Anthology Film Archives.
