audio

shah’s praxis with words has been deeply connected to the spoken word, from understanding their native tongue of Arabic to untangling colonial histories around language to intentional studies of global black vernaculars across the diaspora. Coupled with their skills as an audio engineer, this has resulted in an exploration of sound, music and oration that resulted in numerous podcasts, radio appearances, and experimental audio projects.

 

visuals

shah’s practice with film photography initiated at a young age, when they began bringing disposable cameras on their trips to Sudan over long hot summers. The practice has now expanded to gallery installations and experimental filmmaking. shah’s visual art has been featured art in the Black Woman is God Exhibits (2016 - 2018), CIIS Womxn & Spirituality Conference (2019), and SOMArts Cultural Center (2020) in San Francisco as well as Ashara Ekundayo Gallery (2019) in Oakland, California. Additionally, their films have been published as stills in CUNJUH Magazine (2017) and screened at the Aguas Migrantes International Film Festival in Oaxaca, Mexico (2018).
