    Selwa Abd is a moroccan-born artist, music composer and designer based in New York City. Operating under the moniker Bergsonist, she utilizes intuitive techniques to explore multifaceted themes of identity, social politics, and technology across various mediums, including video, design, audio-visual performances, and music composition. Her prolific and thought-provoking output challenges critical questions surrounding the future of technology, her own fragmented personal identity shaped by the complexities of post-colonial urban environments, and the influence of virtual realities on contemporary society. Inspired by Deleuze's interpretation of Henri Bergson's philosophical framework, she embraces intuition as a legitimate method for investigating these complex issues in all her creative endeavors. In her sound performances, she thoughtfully blends electronic manipulations with acoustic sounds, drawing inspiration from musique concrète and minimalism traditions. Selwa has shown works at MOMA Ps1, Roulette, Moogfest , The Center for Performance Research, Basilica Hudson, Fridman Gallery, The James Gallery, 47 Canal, The Brooklyn Film Festival to name a few. Selwa is the founder of Bizaarbazaar and the community resource Pick Up The Flow. She also hosts a monthly music show on NTS Radio.
