In this talk, Namy will discuss some of his recent artistic projects, works, and installations, and will share his experience throughout the development and production sides. Namy will delve into the technical and artistic aspects of sound as the main medium reflecting the conceptual background of these projects, experiments, and installations.  

The talk 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.
