Fireball - Shadwa Ali
Shadwa Ali ( Egypt )
Fireball is an ongoing sonic research that focuses on city soundscapes, which illustrate a sound map of capital cities' urban planning vs. nature effect on the psychological, mental health, and behavior of their inhabitants. How the definition of "Noise" changes from one capital city to another where the cultural fabric is loaded with musical notes and humans are its instruments where they can reconstruct their future.
The project focuses on the urban planning changes and how the massive cement concrete crawl reaches beyond the recent expansions of mixed-use developments, how this irregular rapid systematic process is going to reconstruct our future.
This residency takes place as part of “لسة / not yet / still,” a regional project in the field of visual arts, initiated by the Goethe-Institutes in North Africa and the Middle East and implemented in cooperation with ZK/U – Center for Art and Urbanistics.
