📼 About the Palestinian Sound Archive: Majazz Project is a Palestinian-led record label and research platform. Over several years, Mo'min Swaitat amassed an archive of rare tapes and vinyl from Palestine and beyond; from Bedouin wedding field recordings to revolutionary tracks and synth-heavy 80s funk & jazz.
What began as a plan to reissue Bedouin Palestinian music evolved into something greater. Through club nights, radio sets, installations, live performances, and storytelling, the Archive preserves by sharing; situating music in its cultural, social, and political contexts.
🔉 Listening Session: Karma invites you to a shared, embodied encounter with sound. Listening here is not passive, as it moves through the body, stirs memory, opens quiet spaces of attention. Together we'll explore fragments of voice, rhythm, spoken word, field recordings, and poetry that trace the lives, landscapes, and histories of the Palestinian people. Each piece carries echoes beyond the moment of hearing. We will slow down and listen closely, attuning to the textures, silences, and resonances that emerge. In this space, sound becomes a vessel for memory and imagination, a site of active resistance to colonial erasure.
An invitation to dwell within sound, to listen with care, presence, and one another.
