"You are the same person"

From Beirut Birds

Nour Sokhon is a Lebanese artist based in Berlin, Germany. Her creative practice is centered around exploring diverse methods of working with artistic research including interview material, field recordings, and recorded material from an organised site-specific intervention. The research is then translated into sound/music compositions, performances, interactive installations and moving image work. In 2017, Nour completed a large-scale project – a documentary called People On Sound – as part of her master’s degree in Sound for the Moving Image at the Glasgow School of Art. In 2019, Nour received the Emerging Artist Prize at the Sursock Museum in Lebanon, for a moving image piece entitled Revisiting: Hold Your Breath, and was awarded the Sound Art 2020 scholarship by Lower Saxony and the University of Fine Arts in Braunschweig.

The proceeds from the album Beirut Birds released by aural conduct serve to help displaced families in need in light of the recent escalation of political violence inflicted on Lebanon.
