Michael(a) Daoud

Michael(a) Daoud is an interdisciplinary artist and artistic researcher. Raised in Egypt, trained in Art and Architecture in Syria, and based in Berlin since 2015, they hold an M.A. in Solo/Dance/Authorship (SODA) from HZT/UdK Berlin. Working across performance, installation, and archival practices, Daoud treats time as a primary artistic medium through duration, repetition, and cyclical structures. Their practice investigates memory, violence, migration, and the body as a site of research, exploring how time accumulates in bodies, landscapes, and political structures through embodied and spatial choreographies. Their work has been presented internationally, including at the Singapore International Festival of Arts (SIFA), Cairo International Festival for Experimental Theatre, Perugia International Journalism Festival, Oslo World Festival, OPEN OUT Festival Tromsø, Performing Arts Festival Berlin (PAF) and STAMP Festival Hamburg among others.
