This workshop focuses on the practical aspects of sound design and sound sculpting. Participants will explore the practices of capturing, filtering, and collaging sound to create new meanings and new ways of listening.

Artists interested in practicing the art of sound sculpting and in exploring sound as a medium are encouraged to apply. No previous experience in working with sound or music is required.

The workshop is in English.

Joe Namy is a Lebanese artist and musician based in London. His work focuses on sound—its history, social impact, and relationship to the built environment. Through collaborative public sculptures and performances, Namy examines how sound is socially constructed and shaped by political forces. His practice also explores gender dynamics in sound, the migration of instruments, and the translation across languages, scores, sounds, and bodily movements in dance. Additionally, Namy has undertaken projects that trace the history and resonance of opera houses across eleven Middle Eastern countries and delve into the archive of Halim El-Dabh, an Egyptian pioneer of electronic music.
