Listen to Retrospective: Elaborate Intuition here:
Selwa Abd is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician, and designer living in NYC and originally from Morocco. She is the founder of the community resource Pick Up The Flow and an NTS Radio resident. Under the guise of Bergsonist, she uses a variety of media to investigate social resonance through divergent conceptual aesthetics (minimalism and musique concrète to name a few). Selwa’s extended creative practice uses intuition and fragment-based systems as legitimate and only modi operandi. Through her work, she explores notions of identity, memory, and social politics. Her first full length album/sonic autobiography Middle Ouest was released via Optimo Music in 2020. In 2022, She was an ISSUE Project Room Artist-in-Residence as well as a Harvestworks’ Fellow.
