Memory of Birds

Memory of Birds is an interactive sound installation that takes place 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. It centers the artist’s complicated relationship with the land—one that holds trauma, mass graves, and toxicity, a repository of political struggle, a record of power dynamics, and a site of various species migrating for survival.

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