Nour Sokhon 'Beirut Birds (طيور بيروت)'

Multimedia artist and composer Nour Sokhon (* 1993, Byblos) presents Beirut Birds (طيور بيروت), a live performance shaped by her ongoing research on migration, displacement, and recurring instability in Lebanon. Working with interviews, field recordings, and site-specific research, Sokhon translates these materials into sonic compositions.

The album Beirut Birds (طيور بيروت), released in 2025 with aural conduct, is composed of voices drawn from recorded conversations with diasporic and repatriated communities. These fragments loop and return, interwoven with Sokhon’s voice and sound processing, alongside field recordings collected in Lebanon and Germany. Also embedded within the composition are manipulated sounds from objects associated with migration, such as office bells, a luggage wheel, car parts, and bureaucratic paperwork. These elements blend into Sokhon’s improvisations on classical piano alongside electronics, synthesizers, violin, and various percussion instruments.

The live performance is accompanied by visuals of Beirut and avian migration across the Mediterranean Sea.

This album was published with the support of the Arab Fund for Arts and Culture – AFAC, with residency and financial support by LABgamerz in partnership with GMEM.

This concert is presented as a double-bill with a concert by Wafaa Saied. We recommend purchasing a combined ticket for both concerts.
