Check out the story of Nurperi Orunbaeva, multidisciplinary artist from Kyrgyzstan and Safemuse’s current artist-in-residence.

– My work is a legacy for all the daughters of the world. It serves as a testament to the empowerment of women, inspiring generations to break free from the constraints of traditional roles…it is a call to embrace our true selves and seek liberation from the oppressive structures imposed by patriarchal societies.

This is one of the powerful statements from Nurperi featured in our latest article «Nurperi Orunbaeva: Decolonising the Self through Artistic Practice and Reimagining Ancestral Heritage».

Discover more about Peri’s pathway into the art world, from a courageous act of creating and self-discovery towards challenging the suppressive system, self-liberation and revitalisation of cultural traditions, at the link in bio.

We invite you to read our latest article: A Dose of Survivor’s Guilt, Recurrent Frustration, and Moments of Overcoming. It features our newest artist-in-residence, Eddie Htet Aung Lwyn, a Burmese filmmaker and photographer.

Through Eddie’s heartfelt and honest reflection, we can learn more about their artistic journey and the ways they navigate the complex emotions of freedom, survivor’s guilt, and healing through art.

“Do I still feel survivor’s guilt? Yes, of course. But my motivation has shifted. Now, I want to create art as a celebration of being alive, of having survived, of being in community. I like to call it radical joy, because we all need it” - Eddie Htet Aung Lwyn

- For a couple of years, I felt disconnected from all art forms. Being an artist under censorship and suppression often felt hopeless. But thankfully, art is more powerful than any dictatorship; it is part of what makes us human and cannot be silenced so easily. Slowly, the spark within me was reignited through a new artistic practice. - Saba Pouyeshamn.

Have a read of our latest article featuring our artist-in-residence, , a multidisciplinary artist from Iran who resisted having her art shaped by propaganda. Through her practice, she is finding new ways to shift the story, from suppression to imagination.

Our latest article - “Pouya Pour-Amin: An artist’s journey from fear to freedom”

— To have artistic freedom now is a totally new feeling for me. I didn’t know how it would feel. When I look back at this short period I have worked in freedom, I can see that things have started changing in the ways that I think and create art.

These are the words of Safemuse’s artist-in-residence, Pouya Pour-Amin, an exciting multifaceted artist who was born in Tehran and has over twenty years of experience from music, composition, sound design and performance.

Learn more about Pouya’s story, his refusal to stay silent in the face of threats, censorship and imprisonment, and his rebirth as a free artist. (Link in bio)
