The idea
A video collaboration with Salah Mazhary of Adventures in Fashionstan, centred on his interpretation of Lezginka dance. It brings performance, dress and cultural curiosity together as an artistic project.

The creative approach
In his account, Salah describes a two-week visit to Chechnya, Dagestan and neighbouring republics in April 2019. His experience inspired him to learn Lezginka and share an appreciation of the region’s heritage. The performance brings together the dance’s eagle-like movements and the white sheepskin papakha as a personal cultural tribute.

My contribution
I collaborated with Salah on the video, bringing my creative practice into a project shaped by performance, dress and cultural appreciation. It reflects my interest in working across disciplines to give an idea a visual expression.
