Arab.AMP

Arab. AMP is a growing community of worldbuilding artists from the SWANA diaspora and our allied communities. Using live art and music, Arab.AMP artists are meeting the disconnection of diaspora—from land, culture, and community—with embodiment, folk wisdom, and dreams of a future rooted in the abundance that connection to land makes possible. Arab.AMP events are shaped in relationship with each host community and serve as invitations into radical imagination and future building for artists and audience. 

Founded in 2017, and led by Leyya Mona Tawil, Arab.AMP operates in partnership with venues and platforms internationally. AMP produces events, holds gatherings, offers commissions, and hosts residencies for the artists and communities we serve.
