Visions In Monochrome & Manuscript - مخطوطة

"Visions In Monochrome" is a live A/V performance that delves into the depths of the human psyche in displacement, where the body contends for survival amid a world confined within parallel lines. Inspired by wheat-cultivating (Saweel Al Qamh – صويل القمح), multidisciplinary artist Qusay Awad composes experimental soundscapes and incorporates body performance.

"Manuscript – مخطوطة" is a durational protest/performance act scripting the word مقاومة (Muqawama, resistance) to speak out against the censorship of voices supporting Palestine’s liberation in German art institutions.

QUSAY AWAD is a Syrian architect and multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin. Using installation, sculpture, sound, moving image, and performance, Awad's visionary work explores and connects ideas of historical rupture, memory, displacement, and community. By exploring the material, sonic, and social architectures that surround us, Awad creates multisensorial experiences that offer space, both artistically and socially, for bonding, reflection, and repose.
