ABOUT US

We, Sobia Ahmad and Monroe Isenberg, are interdisciplinary artists working at the intersections of art and social engagement. Through performance, installation, and new media, we investigate relationships between human experiences and the natural world. Our collaborative body of work explores a shared interest in ecology, spirituality, and our Islamic and Jewish mystical traditions and ways of knowing. Through contemplative repetition, we reimagine rituals that approach communion with land, place, and the invisible.
