SILAI IS AN ANTI-DISCIPLINARY ARTIST AND MUSICIAN WORKING BETWEEN SOUND AND MUSIC PRODUCTION, WRITTEN TEXT, MOVING IMAGE, ARCHIVE, THEORY, PERFORMANCE AND HEALING, AND IS ONE/THIRD OF THE EXPERIMENTAL ARTS COLLECTIVE CAIRO GIRL'S SCHOOL.

She has been working at the intersections of 'improvisistance' over the last few years with a consistent string of live experimental performances - a concept coined by Dirar Kalash, prioritising the temporal affect of the felt over the manufactured and the staged. As a writer her work has featured in Dazed Magazine and poetry pamphlets, she has performed and debuted work at the V&A, Mosaic Rooms, Africa Writes Literature Festival, Exeter Phoenix, 180 Strand, Camden People's Theatre amongst others as well as a solo exhibition titled 'And So Tonight Your Sight Is Piercing' with Cairo Girl's School, drawing on personal and collective connections, history and activism framed within the Islamic faith. Silai is also a student of Islamic Psychology and works as a community worker and teacher, believing in the necessity of creative practice serving community.

Silai is available for modelling, consultancy, brand partnerships and campaigns through Crumb Agency. Past clients include Adidas, The Body Shop & Dr Martens.
