GUIDING WAVELENGTH AS THE CRY OF DESPAIR: BORDERLINE AND METHODICAL EROSION

Bint Mbareh's performance in Mardin takes the pain and sorrow created by dispossession as its starting point. These are profound and compelling moments where exclamations to prophets and saints serve as necessary channels for the widespread and painful expression of grief. In this context, the artist explores how sonic exclamations, as they travel from one body to another, destroy and transcend boundaries without caring what kind of violence they provoke or what a false or imaginary boundary dictates, thanks to the material that constitutes their sound. The artist's research in general is about the temple mythology in Palestine, how the temple is a neighbor, and how the saints and prophets of the communities expelled from Palestine continue to connect through neighborly ways mediated by sounds that still seamlessly transcend time and space.
