Maryam Kashani

Maryam Kashani’s work is image, sound, performance, and text-based. Her practice is engaged with the relationships between physical landscapes and the sociopolitical, material, and spiritual histories and forces that emerge with and against them with a particular focus on collective and individual study and struggle in and against colonial racial capitalism. Her current work emerges from a deep commitment to the aesthetic and political possibilities of experimental filmmaking and the essay form, whether as 16mm films, multi-media installations, text/sound/image live performance, or written monograph. She recently published Medina by the Bay: Scenes of Muslim Study and Survival (Duke University Press, 2023), which is based on ethnographic research and filmmaking conducted with Muslim communities in the greater San Francisco Bay Area.
