Fall Movement Festival presents:

From the River to the Sea is a cinematic and embodied interdisciplinary sound performance ruminating on: migration, memory, and home through the lens of a Palestinian refugee. The work explores the cinematic elements and aims to connect the modalities of sound, movement, and image while addressing issues surrounding displacement and colonialism. An interdisciplinary artist whose work encompasses sound art, extended vocal technique, performance art, movement, analog photography and film, Muyassar Kurdi continues her research on healing through movement and deepens her understanding of its relationship to memory and intergenerational trauma. As a first generation Palestinian refugee, Kurdi remains interested in themes such as migration and the idea of “home” and, through the lens of an indigeneity, expresses vulnerability, connection, and community healing.
