boo.m (Libya,1990) challenges the power of sound and image as a safe space for imagination. Her work focuses on themes of panafricanism, spiritual practices and the multiple dimensions of musicology. While studying the complexity of the human experience, she is committed to documenting movements and communities with whom she shares visions and values, as well as processing historical archives in quest of interconnections throughout space and time. Alongside her audiovisual projects, she works in community organising with local groups in Barcelona, centering matters of social and political justice through events, workshops and collective actions.
she also founded cantdefine.me where with her creative partner Sinai (Venezuela) they explore notions of transculturality and migration.
