COUNTERSONICS: Radical Sonic Imaginaries

8 Mar 2022 6.30-8.30pm

The Showroom
London NW8 8PQ

Overview

Mhamad Safa and Gascia Ouzounian in conversation.

This is a FREE event, but booking is essential via The Showroom Eventbrite

How can the production of sound and practices of listening operate as modes of resistance and rebuilding in times of conflict and crisis?

Countersonics: Radical Sonic Imaginaries is a new series convened by Gascia Ouzounian exploring sonic tactics for building counter-narratives to contested events, spaces, places and communities.

Join us at The Showroom for this conversation between Mhamad Safa and Gascia Ouzounian, the first event in the series. The discussion will focus on Mhamad Safa’s research as an architect and sound producer, in particular his work on urban acoustics during aerial strikes on Beirut, taking his recently published article Reverberations and Post-War Trauma, 2022 as a point of departure. Together with Ouzounian, Safa will discuss his investigation of the role of echo and reverberation in Beirut; as well as post-war trauma and listening cultures in Lebanon.
