Geopoetics is a collaborative audiovisual experiment led by Mukaddas Mijit, featuring six Uyghur diaspora artists. Rooted in themes of displacement and the fragmented relationship to place, the project deconstructs conventional notions of geography and belonging. Through loosely defined instructions (score), the artists responded with a mosaic of soundscapes and visual narratives, exploring the emotional and physical landscapes of their current surroundings.

The making of Geopoetics emerged from the fragmented yet interconnected lives of Uyghur artists in the diaspora. As individuals living in different spaces, shaped by varied experiences of exile, we came together to explore how the notions of belonging, memory, and culture evolve when disconnection from a shared homeland is a defining reality.

By offering loose instructions (score), I encouraged the participating artists to delve into their personal and collective experiences, translating them into sound and video. This approach allowed for an organic process—one that acknowledged the individuality of each artist’s journey while weaving them into a shared narrative.

Participants: Amina Laforce, Merdan Eheteli & Zilale Eheteli, Mirka, Shohret Nur, Sonya Imin
