Mustaf Ahmeti
Description
Their practice is deeply rooted in their personal experiences as a non-binary person living in schism. They use a variety of media, including performance and visual/installation art, to convey their complex and often contradictory perspectives.
They explore themes of identity and body politics, displacement and the experience of queer bodies in repressive societies. Their research draws from a wide range of sources, including mythology, theological imagery and iconography, mystical practices, esoterism, Sufism, classicism, the Middle Ages, posthumanism/transhumanism, cyberpunk, and queer theory. These frameworks are actively woven together to reimagine suppressed modes of representation, body politics, and speculative futures, with the aim of disrupting dominant orders and opening space for forms of existence that escape binary or normative definitions.
