The war crimes and other atrocities being perpetrated by Israel in its project of colonialist occupation, land expropriation and ethnic cleansing cannot be allowed to be forgotten, least of all by those who continue to live in denial of what is happening. Our unconditional support, solidarity, love and rage for Palestine, firefly frequencies CALL FOR PARTICIPATION You are all invited to send us contributions to this series.

He uses binaural technology to collect audio pieces from the verdant Palestinian landscape and sculpts them with sounds from everyday life to create a complete surround sound experience. Setting off with a ‘oud player singing folklore music during a post-wedding ceremony and followed by a walk to home where family is gathered at a dinner table chit-chatting about food and how it is prepared, the recent events that resulted in the death of martyrs in Palestine and the earthquake that occurred in Syria/Turkey. Progressing through the day, YA Z AN goes down to the city centre farmers market (Al-hisbeh) where a number of street vendors are shouting out the prices of their products. Upon joining friends to hangout, the journey travels further to a jam session when surprisingly the rhythm of the community turns into a small choir. The journey ends with Sufi singer Shadi Al-ahmad intoning his voice in his historical Palestinian home with a cross vault ceiling that accents his baritone. Thank you so mcuh YA Z AN for this piece! And many thanks to Belén Marinato and the Gaza Biennale Berlin Pavilion for introducing us to this work.","meta_description":"Palestinian Berlin-based artist YA Z AN travels around his hometown of Ramallah where he encounters sounds that comfort and remind him of home.
