An interactive sound installation exploring political violence through migrating birds.

Tania El Khoury’s guided somatic experience, created in collaboration with a trauma therapist, 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.
