  • About

    Abdullah M I Syed characterises his interdisciplinary art practice as a form of manzoom muzahamat, or poetic resistance, a form of activism that seeks to combat socio-political conflicts, apathy and disillusionment through ideas of shared vulnerability, love, care and storytelling. Utilizing a variety of mediums and techniques, he examines economic structures and the theatrics of power and masculinity in their myriad forms.
