Selwa Abd is a Moroccan-born interdisciplinary artist and composer based in New York City, working under the alias Bergsonist. This performance, entitled ASL أصل ⴰⵙⵍ (Origin), begins with a solo by Gnawan musician Moe Elgad on the guembri (a three-stringed bass lute). The solo merges with and transitions into Bersonist's soundscape. This multimedia performance, recorded at the Roulette Concert Hall in Brooklyn in Sept. 2025, explores ancestry and Amazigh heritage, developed after visiting her great-grandfather’s shrine near Errachidia, Morocco.
