In this episode of the Seeing series, Carrie chats with Naama Tsabar, a Brooklyn-based installation and performance artist.

Naama is a boundary-pushing artist known for challenging conventions and pushing the limits of what art can be. She stands alongside icons of performance art (think Yoko Ono, Carolee Schneemann, and Marina Abramović), bringing a fresh, urgent energy to performance art. Her work is raw, authentic, and totally rock and roll. Forget the somber image of traditional performance art. Naama’s playful, spontaneous approach, especially her signature style of dismantling electric guitars, invites viewers into a visceral, emotional experience.

From Carrie:

"In our interview, we dove into some of my passions—Luce Irigaray, sound art (I wrote my master’s thesis on it), and by the end, I was absolutely hooked. Get ready to be inspired, challenged, and electrified by Naama Tsabar—a true rock star of the performance art world."
