Earshot Library-in-Residence

Earshot

A nine-month residency of multichannel field recordings and listening stations on sound as evidence, by Earshot.

Earshot, the non-profit founded by Lawrence Abu Hamdan to use sound in defence of human and environmental rights, turns the Iqra library into a space of sonic investigation. A continuous multichannel piece, From the Field, draws on eco-acoustic recordings of noise pollution and ecological damage.

Three listening stations cover audio ballistic analysis of weapons and strikes, detection of AI-generated voices, and techniques for profiling sounds and gathering earwitness testimony. Case launches, workshops and talks run throughout.
