Adam Benmakhlouf: prep work

For their Intermedia project, Adam Benmakhlouf will produce a new series of events themed around performance writing, invisible labour, queer friendship and fantasy. Adam’s engagement with the Intermedia space will combine meetings with invited collaborators, public rehearsal, and a signup workshop group.

Benmakhlouf's experiment with the form of the usual Intermedia gallery show stems from both the project's postponement following the CCA's closure through the pandemic, and Adam's decision to experiment with a multidisciplinary outcome that mixes artwork, performance and writing.

More details on participation to follow!

Adam Benmakhlouf

Adam Benmakhlouf is a writer, artist and educator based in Glasgow, Scotland. Their work spans critical and creative experiments in writing, as well as animation, sound, theatre and drawing. Fantasy, labour and friendship are recurrent interests in their practice. These themes are understood and explored through Benmakhlouf’s lived experience of intersectional identity, as a mixed race and queer person from an underclass background.

Benmakhlouf is currently a PhD student working towards a Collaborative Doctoral Award titled Communal Words, funded by the Scottish Graduate School of Arts and Humanities and jointly hosted by the University of Dundee and the public gallery Dundee Contemporary Arts. This project is supervised by Maria Fusco (principal), with Eoin Dara and Johanna Linsley.
