DUBAIS is the Arabfuturist, lo-fi, dark disco project of Nadia Buyse.
Nadia is a transdisciplinary international performance artist, cultural activist, and musician.
Using the tropes of Pop music, DUBAIS make conceptual critiques about displacement, Utopia, diaspora, and the post identity complex. She utilizes multimedia strategies like live and pre-taped video, digital composition, dance and movement, with an emphasis, or rather a particular fascination with, consumer products like cell phones and lo-fi recordings.
