About Hoda Siahtiri
Hoda Siahtiri is an audiovisual performance artist and researcher based in Brussels. Hoda’s work centres around grief, memory, and ancestral vocal heritage. Her artistic research entitled ‘Singing The Silences’ is framed in a PhD research at University of Antwerp and Sint Lucas Antwerp. In her research, she comes to voice through singing nearby her lineage of Bakhtiari women in the west of Iran. She mediates intersectional possibilities of knowledge transmission, by floating in the processes of sonic ancestral embodiment. Hoda’s performance, short films, audiovisual exhibitions, and ceremonies were shown and shared at many festivals and cultural venues in Belgium and in Europe.
