· Resistance and Sound Archives #1 ·
Mohamed Ali Ltaief and Lamin Fofana

The two artist-researchers continue their conversation in a sonic and conceptual form. They evoke the “archaeology of the voice,” an approach that combines text, visual culture, and sound to weave a conversational narrative, like a two-chapter sound book intended for collective listening.

Martina Berther

Of the instruments we hear only their memory: recorded, worked on, transformed. Starting from this acoustic material, she creates sonic planes that unfold, take shape, and dissolve within an extended stretch of time.
