Produced by Wizara in the NewArtCity metaverse, NYAF is thrilled to present Ismail Fayed’s debut Web3 project. Originally commissioned for Outburst Festival in Belfast, “What Al-Nadeem Knew” is a mutating project exploring notions of belonging, homeland, the voice as an archive, and the gender of metaphoric entities. Through newly created videos documenting the artist’s gesturality, interspersed with historical documentary material as diverse as Um Kolthoum’s concerts, and geo-engineering digs, the installation is informative, playful, and visually stunning.

Project of Ismail Fayed, in collaboration with Mohammed Shawky Hassan.
