About the event
Join us for a special evening bringing together artists from Egypt, London-based creatives, researchers, and those interested in contemporary Egyptian music, sound art, and archives.
We’re thrilled to welcome Sara Hamdy, our Beyond 1932 residency artist for March, who will give her first public lecture on Sonic Spaces —an online archival platform dedicated to documenting and promoting sound studies and creative sonic endeavors in Egypt—prior to her performance at the Greenwood Theatre.
