هُوِيَّةُ (HUIA)

 

هُوِيَّةُ (Huia) (2019) is ​​collaborative installation by Sophie Stone and Nour Elhouda Souleh that explores the sounds of spoken modern Arabic and constructions of Othering. The project involves the setting of five poems by Nour, and explores sound, silence and extended durations. Nour's performance is inspired by Marina Abramović's work "The Artist Is Present". The audience is invited to sit with Nour during the installation for any period of time; listening to the sounds and sharing eye-contact only.
