Activist
Masa Nazzal is a researcher, artist, and activist based in Glasgow, whose work is based around border violence along the EU’s Balkan borders against people in transit. She has spent time in Bosnia and Croatia with the group No Name Kitchen, researching and recording testimonies of personal accounts of violence committed by the EU for a sonic ethnography project. Masa uses creative mediums, such as writing, sound, and embroidery to explore the affective ways state violence and borders rupture and redefine how people inhabit the world. Her work focuses on the transformative power of listening as a bridge towards solidarity, action, and change.
