Amira Jazeera | she/her

2 3
Chicago has become home to many budding talents throughout the years and Palestinian-American singer-songwriter,
Amira Jazeera is no exception. Equipped with GarageBand and childhood curiosity, Amira began making music at the age
of 13. Immediately falling in love with the process, she created her own makeshift recording studio and the rest was history.
In 2019, she released her first single, Whoever, which was her formal introduction as the self proclaimed “Arab Pop Princess.”
As a Palestinian woman, Amira is shifting the narrative and offering inspiration for young girls like her who don’t get to see
themselves represented in media.
Her honey-like, smooth voice dances across dreamy soundscapes as she explores ideas of self empowerment, identity, and
more. Meeting somewhere between R&B and Pop, Jazeera’s voice lends itself to the versatility displayed in all of her songs.
Amira’s tracks have garnered attention in over 80 countries, appearing on Spotify’s editorial playlist Arab X and featured in
publications such as Chicago Reader and Lyrical Lemonade.

A Syrian-American writer, director, and actress living in Brooklyn, NY. She has
worked under independent film companies such as A24 and Stay Gold Features.
Her films aim to explore nuances in identity through the intersection of family,
religion, and culture in Arab-American and Muslim communities. Her debut short
film, SHORT SHORTS, is a coming of age about an American Muslim teenage girl
who uses clothes to inform identity between two cultures. Her second short,
BARZAKH, uses the Sci-Fi genre to reflect upon the sociopolitical divide in the
United States and the treatment of Muslims, refugees, and undocumented
immigrants. Karina is the 2021 Silver Sun Diverse Voices Filmmaker Fellow at the
Jacob Burns Film Center, where she will continue to make work that reflects her
passions and values.

1An Egyptian nonbinary multidisciplinary sound artist and sound healer, based in
Chicago. Music is fusion of Middle-Eastern North-African folklore within groovy
electronic polyrhythms and basses, drumming structures influenced by rock, jazz,
trap, trance and psychedelic music. NAXÖ is featured for their works on Chicago
Reader, Chicago Zine Fest, Windy City Times, Philly Weekly, and others. Growing
up in Egypt, NAXÖ performed & produced with some of the finest fusion bands,
teams and projects in clubs, theaters, festivals and others for over a decade.
NAXÖ uses sound and music to explore psychological narratives, subjectivities,
and streams of consciousness to navigate personal transformations featuring
transparent voices calling to resist, embedded deep within a wider frequency,
energy and vibration.
NAXÖ just dropped a new album – May 2021 – called TESA’A (in Arabic: ىعست/
)هعستwhich is a double entendre for both number 9 and being a seeker. Number
9 meaning in numerology represents the great mental and spiritual realizations,
it is the number of the initiation, because it marks the end of a phase of spiritual
development and the beginning of another higher stage, symbolized by the
passage from the units to the tens, guiding and empowering with wisdom and
a humanitarian heart delivered to the world. The album is 9 songs on queer
culture/migration, transness, postcolonialism and re-imagining a better world,
with deeply grand vocals, ecstatic synths and the kind of percussion that finds its
way to your core!
