'Self & Technology' (10 mins) is a compilation of tracks from my upcoming album 'twominuteglitches'.

Self & Technology

afternoon, offline: DISC 1 is a collection of heartfelt, playful, and rebellious rhymes over punky electronic beats. The EP explores Samiir’s struggle to retain a sense of self amidst the dehumanising forces of the gig economy, generative AI, and social isolation.

I am a multimedia poet and performance artist based in Birmingham, UK. I make work about mental health, identity, technology, and liberation.

I have performed across the UK and internationally, including at Ikon Gallery, Jerwood Space, Eastside Projects, Vivid Projects, Ugly Duck, La Gaîté Lyrique, St. Mary's Guldhall, Manchester Museum, Supernormal Festival, Tramlines Festival, and Espace USANII.

My poetry films have screened at OutFest Los Angeles, Arcadia Gallery, Mockingbird Cinema, and Channel 4 Random Acts. My film ‘oneminuteglitches’ was featured in the online exhibition ‘A World Without End’ and was a finalist for Best Illustrated Poem at the Wales International Film Festival 2021.
