PUSH/PULL is a transdisciplinary exhibition project featuring new collaborative works by aisha tida, ARCOS Dance, and Leila Mnekbi.
Centering intimate interactive dance and sound performances within a quilted site-specific installation, PUSH/PULL invites audience-participants to explore notions of authorship and agency while questioning the world we live in, the definitions and patterns we accept, and the loops and illusions we wish to escape.
On view at Box13 ArtSpace May through June 2025.

An experimental pattern- and projection-based video installation developed in collaboration with Leila Mnekbi.
Overwhelming visuals paired with a poetic questionnaire performed in formal Arabic and English gives examiners a pause of reflection and meditation amidst the pressure and chaos of the inner city's rollercoaster.
