Dunia Sahir is a Slovenian/Italian-Moroccan research-led artist and scientist based in Vienna, who works with several mediums to investigate practices of knowledge-making, emphasizing the importance of emotions, memory, and ancestral knowledge in the process. Their poetic inquiries tackle established boundaries to confront the passively accepted limitations they impose. Dunia’s work often crosses these boundaries to highlight their irony. Combining a profound knowledge of natural sciences with theoretical and geopolitical analysis, as well as history, Dunia focuses on intuition and the stickiness of embodied feeling and sense-making that intertwines all of these fields.
