The online sonic archive, “Listening Walks in Jerusalem,” is part of an ongoing listening project, attuned to the city’s acoustics. “Acoustics” is the diverse and complex apparatuses which divides the city into different territories of power, and “listening” is examining the sonic relationalities that these acoustics enable. Performed by a group of Palestinian and Israeli artists, the project “listens-to” and “compose” the city’s acoustics.

The project is part of my postdoctoral research at the Department of Theatre  Studies, and the The Harry S. Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, in collaboration with Mamuta Sound, at the Mamuta Art and Research Center. The project was part of the center’s “Ministery of Recording,” a series focusing on field recordings and sound phenomena in Jerusalem’s urban spaces and liminal areas.
