Memory of Birds

Memory of Birds is an interactive sound installation in trees in collaboration with a trauma therapist and migrating birds. The work explores political violence that literally and figuratively gets buried in contested lands. 

A guided somatic experience, Memory of Birds is a work that eats itself, designed to be forgotten.
