Arab.AMP is a platform for experimental live art, music and ideas by artists of the SWANA diaspora, region, and our allied communities. Arab.AMP, curated and directed by Leyya Mona Tawil, celebrates the plurality of SWANA voices operating in futurism, hybrid and transgressive form. Arab.AMP is nomadic, operating in partnership with venues inter/nationally. A program of ELIXIR 501c3, Arab.AMP produces tours, commissions, gatherings, and residencies for the community it serves. |
