Sulaïman Majali

Sulaïman Majali is an artist-poet who brings into play rupturing, grieving and dreaming as methodologies of disruption. Considering art as an already thinking and speaking thing, the artists perform towards poetic and conceptual strategies for evading empire. At issue in the play is the liberatory or otherwise. Majali was shortlisted for the Margaret Tait Award 2020/21, a LUX Scotland commission delivered in partnership with Glasgow Film, and recently finished a 2-year research residency at Talbot Rice Gallery/Edinburgh College of Art.
