Raoni Saleh is an Afghan artist based in Amsterdam using performance, poetry and the sound of moaning to twist and reshape narratives of (cultural) becoming.

"My work’s focus is to play with fugitivity, to elude capture by never settling. Applying dance and sound as a transformational kind of poësis, I am searching for how to continuously be in a state of incompleteness. I am obsessed with artistic practice that is deeply engaged with the entanglement of body, spirit, politics and love within art. Through the use of materials such as movement, voice, text and textile I pull onto the stage a serious kind of play that temporarily immerses both spectators and performers in otherworldly thinking, feeling and relating."
