Monira Al Qadiri

Monira Al Qadiri is a visual and performative artist who explores unconventional gender identities, “petro-cultures” and their possible futures, as well as the legacies of corruption. Dark humor often drives the artist’s speculative, uncanny scenarios, which simultaneously look back at and probe possible futures for local imaginaries in a networked world. At The Influencers 2019 Monira Al Qadiri will perform "Petrochemicals in Purgatory", a semi-fictional lecture/performance where a pre-oil past meets possible futures without petroleum.
