Zeerak Ahmed

(Lahore, Pakistan, 1990 - )

American, Pakistani

Zeerak is a US-based Pakistani artist. She produces voice-based sculptures, site-specific installations and uniquely fragile sound collages that explore notions of identity, memory and longing. Slowspin has a distinct sound practice grounded in Hindustaani classical vocal traditions, dream-folk, ambient and experimental electronic music. Poetry and melodies in her mother tongue(s)—Urdu, Farsi, Purbi and English—build new textural soundscapes. She is presently archiving the sonic and intellectual histories of female folk music traditions from South Asia, drawing new forms from the poetic and melodic records of her ancestors. Exploring ways of listening, composing, and performing the sounding body, her work addresses critical immaterial art.
