About Me

Homa Shokri is a Helsinki-based multidisciplinary artist working primarily as a director and dramaturg. She holds a Master’s degree in Directing from the Theatre Academy of the University of the Arts Helsinki and a Bachelor’s degree in Playwriting and Dramaturgy.

Her artistic practice explores political violence, bodily resistance, and the uninhabitability of bodies through performance, movement, text, and video. Working across performance art and installation, Shokri examines how structural and invisible forms of violence shape physicality, behaviour, and perception.

Rooted in decolonial and feminist perspectives, her works approach movement as a site of disobedience, vulnerability, and tension, questioning dominant narratives, systems of control, and the politics of representation.

Her performances and installations have been presented internationally in theatres, festivals, and interdisciplinary art contexts.
