Bergsonist

Selwa Abd (Bergonist) is a multi-disciplinary artist, musician & designer living in NYC (originally from Morocco). Under the guise of Bergsonist, she uses a variety of media to investigate social resonance through divergent conceptual aesthetics (minimalism and musique concrète, to name a few). Selwa’s extended creative practice uses intuition & fragment-based systems as legitimate and only modi operandi. Through her work, she explores notions of identity, memory, and social politics. She is the founder of the community resource Pick Up The Flow and host of a monthly music show on NTS Radio. In 2022, she was Artist-In-Residence at Issue Project Room and TIP fellow at Harvestworks. She’s currently a 2023 Jerome Hill Artist Alternate grant recipient.
