Intention
Bint Mbareh’s sound practice underlines that what happens in water happens in sound because of the similarity of the wave structures that govern both types of bodies. She currently researches how moving specifically geno-domesti-eco-cide induced grief, reconfigures time and undoes borders between now and then, borders between mediterraneans. In grief, mundanity becomes slower; a productive metaphor has been that when we sound communally, time becomes slower because we are changing the constitution of air waves to slow the movement of the time that we are collectively passing through.
