Safia Nolin

Safia Nolin, a singular figure on the contemporary art scene, embodies a powerful political voice. Her career is a quest for identity, an exploration of difference and marginality. As a racialized, lesbian and artistically non-conforming woman, she defies societal norms and expectations. Her aesthetic, both raw and poetic, is a celebration of imperfection and authenticity.

In her new album, UFO RELIGION, Nolin expresses a deep sense of alienation, a desire to escape from a world that doesn't recognize her. Through minimalist melodies and raw instrumentation, she delivers an introspective work, where melancholy and hope mingle. Her music, a cross between folk, grunge and stoner, is an invitation to an inner journey, a call to authenticity.
