Artist Spotlight Talk: nasa4nasa & Jota Mombaça

As part of the openingsweekend of Sonsbeek 2026, dancers Noura Seif Hassanein and Salma AbdelSalam from nasa4nasa and artist Jota Mombaça come together in conversation about their understanding of memory as relational, and remembering as an act of bodily attunement.

Moderated by Sonsbeek 2026 curator Amira Gad, the discussion explores the position and significance of the landscape within their work, which they — separately from each other — have referred to as “the third body” or “the third choreographer”.

Additionally, nasa4nasa’s film promises b2b (2021) will be screened. In these videos, originally made for Instagram, nasa4nasa uses their physical rehearsal room, their studio, and the Faiyum desert west of the Nile as displaced stages to further explore distance as a third party within their choreography.
