Sound is so much more than just waves bouncing around us. In Gaza, the echoes of sound carry stories of hope and pain. Since October 7, 2023, during the genocide in Gaza, sound engineer Mohamed takes us on a powerful journey through sound. Through four unique stories, each character gives voice to the war and shares their experience, a way to see and hear how Gaza’s sounds, once full of life, changed completely before and after 2023.

To dance is to remember, to dance is to remind. As the Palestinian identity continues to be threatened with erasure, Palestinians turn to their folk dance, the dabke, as an homage to their history and culture, and to assert their existence.
