Memory of Birds

This interactive sound installation uses the story of bird migration and survival to explore how political violence literally and figuratively gets buried in contested lands.

El Khoury’s guided somatic experience, created in collaboration with a trauma therapist, takes place in hammock-like structures, placing audiences amongst the trees. The work is described by her as ‘a work that eats itself, designed to be forgotten.’

Tania El Khoury is fast cementing her reputation as one of the most exciting contemporary live artists in the world. Her work has been translated into multiple languages and shown in thirty-three countries across six continents, in spaces ranging from museums to cable cars. This is the European Premiere of Memory of Birds.
