My name is Zaki and I am a multi-disciplinary creative practitioner and performance artist, driven by a profound fascination with identity, technology, and the art of narrative storytelling.

 

Originating from Singapore, my diverse background encompasses my queer, Muslim, and Indonesian heritage, which greatly influences and shapes my artistic exploration.

 

With a firm foundation in speculative narratives and conceptual design, I utilize circus and pole as powerful mediums to express my creative vision. Through captivating performances ranging from cabaret to contemporary circus, my work delves into themes of Queer Futurism and Digital Spirituality, garnering critical acclaim along the way.
