Mike Khoury

Mike Khoury is a Palestinian-American composer, improviser, and curator focused on experimental music, social research, and the Palestinian diaspora. Khoury’s focus has been on the establishment of the Arab-American avant-garde—documenting the movement’s intellectual heritage through presenting his own work, publishing on the topic, and presenting other artists’ work. Khoury has engaged in community building through his curation of the Entropy Studios space in Hamtramck (1998–2001) and Redford (2014–present), and the Entropy Stereo record label publishing artists such as Faruq Z. Bey and Wendell Harrison.

Khoury served as a 2022 Kresge Artist Fellowship panelist in Film & Music.
