📖 Poetics of sound, image, and memory

Working across sound, moving image, text, and performance, the artists delve into collective memory. Their practice explores narratives of oppression, dispossession, and violence, alongside those of collectivity and resilience.

The centerpiece of the exhibition is a new site-specific, multichannel immersive audiovisual installation that investigates spectral presences and storytelling through song.

Basel Abbas (Nicosia, 1983) and Ruanne Abou-Rahme (Boston, 1983) collaborate as an artistic duo examining shared archives and collective experiences.
