Darya Andijan is an identity created in 2023, rooted in the Uyghur region in China and now based in the Netherlands. She’s tracing back her female lineage by practicing Sufism, but often falls in a line between a believer and a non-believer.

During her master’s at the Netherlands Film Academy - Artistic Research in and through Cinema, she worked across film, performance, and expanded cinema. She explores memory, myth, and women’s voices in Central Asia. Her works have been presented at Qyzqaras Film Festival, Li-Ma, and Festival L’Europe autour de l’Europe, and she participated in Lab Week of EYE Museum with Apichatpong Weerasethakul in 2025.

Through these practices, Andijan seeks to reconnect fragmented h(er)tories and reimagine spaces where forgotten narratives can be remembered.
