About Riah Naief:

Riah Naief is an Iraqi sound artist and organiser based in Glasgow, where they founded Listen Gallery – the city’s only art space dedicated to listening. The gallery reimagines how we experience art, challenging the dominance of the eyes by centering the ears as tools for care, creativity, and collective imagination. Through exhibitions, performances, workshops, and commissions, Listen Gallery nurtures accessible, community-rooted approaches to art-making and provides a space to imagine inclusive futures shaped through listening. 

Part of Funoun Scotland Festival by MARSM: a three-day multidisciplinary celebration of contemporary Arab and SWANA creativity.

Supported using public funding by Creative Scotland.
