Visited @iurmalmo.bsky.social today to hear, among other interesting things, a presentation of the Gaza Soundmapping Project (ambientgaza.org). Worth checking out and supporting if you're interested in sound archives, sound mapping and the politics of listening in a Palestinian context.

A seated audience watches a presentation screen showing a digital map titled "Gaza Soundmapping Project." To the right is a banner for "IUR, Malmö University, Institute for Urban Research".

Happy to have been part of this collective and collaborative work initiated by Chiara Valli with Laleh Foroughanfar, Adriana de la Peña, Lorena Melgaço and Myrto Dagkouli-Kyriakoglou. It was a great experience thinking about Eurovision, protests and authoritarian urbanism.
