Wafaa Saied
Wafaa Saied is a Palestinian Gazan singer and storyteller whose work brings together music, oral history, and performance. Through a combination of traditional Palestinian songs and personal storytelling, she shares narratives rooted in her upbringing in Gaza and the experiences of her family and community.
Her practice focuses on preserving and reviving Palestinian cultural heritage while creating intimate and emotionally engaging performances. By weaving together folklore, memory, and lived experience, she offers audiences a deeper and more personal connection to Palestinian identity beyond dominant media narratives.
Now based in Germany, Wafaa uses her voice as a space for cultural resistance, aiming to humanize Palestinian stories and create moments of connection, warmth, and reflection through her work.
