Artist Talk: Ellie Armon Azoulay & Mo'min Swaitat
Artist Talk - tickets(?)Join cultural historian + curator Ellie Armon Azoulay and Mo’min Swaitat of Majazz Project and Palestinian Sound Archive for a conversation in response to Metal Memories: Sounds of the Palestinian Streets. Centred around rare field recordings of Palestinian and Bedouin wedding traditions, the discussion will explore sound as a carrier of memory, resistance, and collective cultural identity.
Reflecting on the role of archives, storytelling, and sonic culture within their practices, they will each consider how music, celebration, and oral histories can preserve experiences of community and belonging across displacement and occupation. The conversation will also engage with the political stakes of listening: how sound can bear witness, be interrupted, or be lost, and what it means to attend to a sonic landscape shaped by both celebration and rupture.
In collaboration with Palestine Museum and Edinburgh Art Festival.
This event is at the Palestine Museum, where the door is up four steps.
