HAM.MAM Funding by First Kiss Theatre Artist Residency, December 2025 This hyper-textual live performance reimagines the traditional Iranian bathhouse within the browser window, where the changing room is a chatroom and spiritual ablution is an ambient ritual. The artist navigates the bathhouse by clicking, typing, reciting, and gesturing, transforming their desktop into a site of intimacy without physical proximity. Blending poetry, archival practice, and internet art performance, this piece explores the protocols of the hammam and questions how one might create what Amiri Baraka called a “spiritually‑oriented technology.” Presentations: *The Makers' Ensemble Space, 2025 |
