TEXT2SPEECH: Contemporary Arab* Performance/ الأداه العربي* الحديث is a selection of works by artists of or living in the MENA region who are establishing a name for themselves in the world of performance. Fadl Fakhouri curates a range of works by artists whose performance work does not belong in one category or medium as a further refutation of the colonial borders imposed upon us. Some of these works may find themselves under the label of theater while others crossover to fashion or music. Regardless, these are artists to look out for and support as their commitment to performance will lead to their being household names at the turn of the century or hopefully before then.

TEXT2SPEECH is a curatorial project from Fadl Fakhouri which exhibits artists whose work centers borders, whether it be state borders, interpersonal boundaries, patriarchal gender guidelines or linguistic borders.
