🔉➿ If migration is a choreography of bodies, gestures, objects, and memory, then sound is perhaps its most faithful companion.
We invite you to listen closer to sonic remittances in two forms in the framework of CLOSE TO HOME:
🔊 The Sonic Remittance Booth in the exhibition invites you to contribute a song that carries you home, however and wherever home exists. Each offering becomes part of a collective playlist, a living archive of voices, rhythms, and textures, reverberating throughout the exhibition.
🔊In the Sonic Remittance Listening Session, we wonder: What does home sound like? A mother’s whisper, the hum of a familiar street, the crackle of a fire, a rooster’s crow, temple bells echoing at dawn. Sounds that travel, accumulate and linger in the spaces we inhabit and those we long for. You are invited you to share a sound that holds home: a song, a spoken word, a rhythm. Please bring the songs or other tunes you would like to share – on your phone, with your voice and memory, on vinyl, on a memory stick, ... Together, we will explore how these vibrations travel, carry memory, and sustain relationships, weaving them into a collective sonic archive of care and the traces of belonging.
Both, booth and listening session, are curated and held by our current curatorial fellow, Abraham Tettey.
