"Fadi Murad's performance-based practice melds several mediums: text, video, sound works, reenactment, and use of archival material. Humor is as present as mourning and death, whether in the evocation of the loss of his mother or moving between East and West Jerusalem, as sublimated by words and the vertigo of repetition. Searching for loopholes in everyday life under occupation, Fadi Murad lays bare, through poetry, the hypocrisy of authoritarian systems."
— Les Urbaines Festival
Practice
Fadi Murad works across solo and collaborative performance, video, and sound. His work often draws on autobiographical material, family archives, and the politics of place—especially Jerusalem—to explore memory, belonging, and the absurdities of everyday life under pressure.
He has presented work at festivals and venues in Europe and the region. [Sample: add dates, venues, and collaborators as you update.]
