Fazle Shairmahomed is a performance artist working with rituals, dance, plants, film, and text. Their work creates spaces for encounters between diverse spiritual and cultural perspectives, often shaped by processes of decolonization, creolization, and sensory experience.
Fazle’s practice is rooted in community and shaped by collaborations with queer and artistic communities such as The Hang-Out 070, Queer Moslims, Hindostaans & Queer, and Masala Movement. Their inspirations include Muslim, Hindu, Caribbean, and club cultural traditions.
With an academic background in cultural anthropology and Middle Eastern studies, Fazle is also one of the co-founders and administrators of the Masala Movement NL community – a local platform for empowerment, artistic collaboration, and exchange within the Surinamese-Hindostani and South Asian diaspora in the Netherlands.
