Ãssia Ghendir @assiaghendir, whose work moves between voice, movement, and geological soundscapes, spent time at Irane Gagben connecting with Siwa through attentive listening to the land, and its minerals.

Reflecting on their time here, they share:

“Irane Gagben offered me a rare experience of slowness, where time, land, and presence aligned, allowing my research to unfold in an unforced way. What stayed with me most was the kindness of the hosts, the connection I formed with them, and the generosity of the land itself.
This time helped me reflect on what had emerged during my previous residency in Morocco and opened me toward a deeper sensory awareness of the Siwi land — allowing a new way of listening to develop for my fieldwork research around minerals and voice.” by @assiaghendir

Can’t get enough of the rocks 🪨
thanks to everyone supporting my internal and external research-

thanks to Mouna, Mohamed, Azdine, Fatima, Zineb, Berri for guiding me through your land and trusting me with your stories..

Thanks @nawatfes for having me and offering me a space to dig deep into my research of the minerals, geology history and its link to the voice.

During ãssia ghendir’s residency at Nawat Fes, a rich artistic inquiry unfolded at the intersection of voice, movement, sound, and embodied research. Based in London, ãssia is a transdisciplinary artist and somatic practitioner whose work explores non-verbal vocal practices, geological listening, and the relationship between body, land, memory, and time.

We are pleased to share the article “Issue 00 – Geologies of Voice, In Conversation with ãssia ghendir,” written by Mohammed Hamdouni @thinkinglifeform and published in 𝘔𝘈𝘈𝘋 𝘔𝘢𝘨𝘢𝘻𝘪𝘯𝘦 @madd.magazine , presented as a reflective conversation with ãssia around these practices. Curator and ethnomusicologist Mohammed Hamdouni has been an ongoing advisor to Nawat Fes, and serves on the Nawat Fes Visual and Performance Art jury. His critical insight and long-term engagement have significantly contributed to the development of our artistic and curatorial vision.

This publication reflects the deep dialogue between artistic practice and critical thought that Nawat Fes actively values and nurtures.

Mohammed Hamdouni, a Moroccan PhD candidate, is currently pursuing a PhD in Ethnomusicology and Anthropology at the University of Bologna, Italy, focusing his research on Jewish Gnaoua Music in Morocco. He holds a Master’s degree in Organizational Communication from Hassan II University of Casablanca, where his research examined the perception of contemporary art among Moroccan youth. He later earned a Master of Laws in Comparative Law and Finance from the International University College of Turin, completing a thesis on the cessation of religious violence in contemporary Islamic thought.

Beyond academia, Mohammed’s engagement in various fields underscores his interdisciplinary approach to understand cultural habitats and movements. He is an active member of The Migrants Legal Clinic at the International University College of Turin and The University of Turin since January 2023. In 2022, he was recognized as a Remote Fellow at the Berlin Art Institute, Germany, and as a Cultural Fellow at the Institut für Auslandsbeziehungen (ifa) in Berlin.

TONIGHT: ÃSSIA GHENDIR + AYAMI SUZUKI + SAMRA MAYANJA

An evening of porous forms and embodied listening from three artists exploring the intersections of voice, movement, memory, performance and improvisation.

ãssia ghendir weaves together devotional vocal techniques, geological soundscapes, and somatic movement. Their performances unfold as raw, transformative rituals - immersive encounters with voice and vulnerability, channelled through the body.

Ayami Suzuki conjures ambient soundscapes where folk song, environmental texture and improvisation coalesce. Drawing on both Japanese and European influences, her work floats between form and formlessness, rooted in voice, and always in flux.

Samra Mayanja performs new work exploring illegibility, searching and the absurd. Her practice combines poetic language, fragmented narrative and embodied gesture - pursuing what’s lost, misheard or impossible to articulate.
