Memory of Birds is an interactive sound installation from artist Tania El Khoury. The work takes place in trees, and is made in collaboration with a trauma therapist and migrating birds. As a guided somatic experience, it explores political violence that literally and figuratively gets buried in contested lands.
Memory of Birds is a work that eats itself, designed to be forgotten.
Tania El Khoury is a live artist whose work focuses on audience interactivity and its political potential. She creates installations and performances in which the audience is a witness and collaborator. Tania’s work has been translated to multiple languages and shown in 32 countries, in spaces ranging from national museums to small boats in the Mediterranean Sea.
