Zahra is a musician, composer, performer and award-winning director of the Young Women’s Music Project. She is based in Oxford where she was born and raised as a second-generation immigrant, her father having emigrated to the UK from Iran and her mother being Irish. Thoughts on identity run as an undercurrent through her creative process as she connects the different cultures she embodies.
For You celebrates creativity triumphing in adversity. The tour aims to bring together musicians of all gender minorities of diverse cultural heritage, who are more vulnerable to experiences of marginalisation in the music industry, to showcase new music written in response to liberation from an abusive relationship.
She will be working on a live set and installation for four live shows Brighton, Bristol, Liverpool and London. She will work on creating a stage set with designer and pupper maker Iman Mahdy and performer Hannah Fredsgaard-Jones and Young Women’s Music Project drum troupe -Team Drum.
