Vernacular Echoes: Sounds and Collective Expressions
Date: 16.11.2024
Time: 16:00-18:00 CET
Khamoosh is a participatory artistic research project that mediates conservation and restoration by exploring the sonic heritage of Iran through recorded sounds of everyday life; sounds less heard or even silenced.
“We come together in the shared intimacy of sound through the tools of technology and time. Hearing the relationship between sound and language is an ongoing process formed by both well-known and unknown contributors as well as by nonhumans, broadening the listening sphere of our extended collective. Our combined practices include music, anthropology, linguistics, and audiovisual design.”
Golnoosh and Maryam, two members of Khamoosh, will host an event at Varia. They will begin by presenting how Khamoosh as a process-based project operates, and share insights to their own roles within the Khamoosh community. The session will continue with a collective listening workshop featuring carefully selected soundscapes from Khamoosh’s sound archive drawn from everyday sounds, voices, and rhythms focusing on the vernacular.
During this listening journey, Maryam will perform Persian calligraphy - a traditional art form requiring specialized tools such as ink and reed pens crafted from plants —and follow precise rules for writing letters and words. This performance will be inspired by the sounds that embody the vernacular language of emotion and spirit. Participants are encouraged to join in, letting the sounds guide their own creative expressions—whether through drawing, writing, or sharing reflections.
