She collaborates with contemporary artists throughout North America in a variety of formats, including musical, visual and textual. Writing since childhood, Zawi has explored the reaches of poetry, short-stories, and theater. With a voice trained in Italian opera, a body shaped by competitive butterfly swimming, and a cultural sensitivity moulded by Chicago punk cerca 1990, Austin slackerism cerca 1995, Brooklyn grime from 1998, Appalachian springs in 2003, down to Oaxacan uprising of 2006, Zawi's work contains such an array of seasonings.
Born in El Paso, Texas, Zawi moved approximately every third year with her older brother and military parents. Her semi-nomadic lifestyle has given her a multitude of perspectives which have coalesced into a unique and expressionistic world-view.view less
