Memory of Birds

Memory of Birds

curator

  • Thukral & Tagra

Commissioned by Common Ground, 2023 Fisher Center LAB Biennial.

Memory of Birds is an interactive sound installation in trees in collaboration with a trauma therapist and migrating birds. The work explores political violence that literally and figuratively gets buried in contested lands. A guided somatic experience, Memory of Birds is a work that eats itself, designed to be forgotten.

Curated by Thukral & Tagra as part of ‘Multiplay’
