Bint Mbareh is a sound researcher with a focus on water in Palestine. Her interest in the physical parallel between the water wave and the sound wave leads her into questions of border dissolutions (between bodies, between states, between tenses), and into the possibility of being enveloped by the voice, by sounding communally similar to being enveloped by a water body. She challenges Settler colonial epistemology by taking seriously Palestinian ways of knowing, from rain-summoning music to shrine pilgrimage as an instigator to political revolution.
Tidal Memory explores the flows of information passing through time using sampling, sound and research into Bob Quinn's films around historically possible hypotheses. The palimpsestic nature of the sounds implies allowance and encouragement of multiple histories intertwining, but also the politics of power that allow certain historical narratives to triumph while others are suppressed.
