NARDA AZARIA DALGLEISH
As an experimental moving image and installation artist, Narda draws on various personal and cultural sources to interface the visible world with the invisible realm of mysteries, using her poetry and her experimentations with layering narrations and evocative vocals.
Since she started in September 2014, making films and installations proved to be not only a means for an artistic end for her, but very much a journey of self discovery. She is increasingly astonished to note the extent of space her ancient ancestral roots are claiming in her work.
“Dating back to over 2500 years of ancestral exile in the Babylonian diaspora, the richness of the Semitic root languages – Hebrew and Arabic – the Biblical stories, the cultures – both spiritual and secular, all that, and being an ‘exile’ myself, so to speak, mirror back to me through my work a sense of identity I have not experienced before.”
