About
AZ OOR (MA) is a visual artist, storyteller, and poet from Rotterdam. An auto-proclaimed Amazigh Futurist, he advocates for a poetic resurgence of indigenous consciousness and thinking processes within the Developmentocene; a temporal, narrative, colonial, and terraforming sphere.
By contemplating and listening to events, orality, archival material, plants, bestialities, ethnographical sludge, viral thoughts, cinematic crufts, and literary figures, AZ OOR’s visual vernacular oscillates between quasi-theater forms, fragmented texts, and scenographic vocality. His work bridges speculative fiction and Indigenous praxis to articulate a living vocabulary for an Amazigh future that hasn’t yet happened and a nostalgia for something that didn’t exist.
