Ali El-Darsa works across moving image, installation, performance, and sound. His practice examines structures of belonging in transnational contexts, foregrounding the specificity of time-based media in creating networked, mediated memories and cultural imaginaries.

His interdisciplinary research in performance engages with the fields of text, word, sign, and language, questioning—often collaboratively—how language shapes movement, systems of thought, and, by extension, the discourse surrounding the interpretation of a work of art, both materially and metaphorically. His work approaches communication through its means, methods, and media—oral, written, or coded—examining the transmission of customary, historical, and contemporary narratives.

El-Darsa lives and works in Berlin, and is a 2025–2026 fellow at the Akademie Schloss Solitude in Stuttgart, Germany.
