Joe Namy

Joe Namy (LB/US) is an artist, composer, and educator based in London with roots in Beirut and Detroit, and often works collaboratively across mediums. Their projects often focus on the social constructs of music and organised sound, such as, the pageantry and politics of opera, the gender dynamics of bass, colours and tones of militarization, migration patterns of rhythms, and the complexities of translation in all this—from language to language, from score to sound, from drum to dance. Namy is currently the artist in residence for the London Borough of Barking and Dagenham, a resident DJ for Radio Alhara, and a PHD researcher at Oxford University. Their work has recently been shown at Tresor 31 Festival Berlin, FRONT Triennial Cleveland, Renaissance Society Chicago, and Portikus Frankfurt.
