Lawrence Abu Hamdan: Zifzafa

Oslo Munchmuseet, Norway

Audiovisual installation based on a video game designed to demonstrate the impact of a planned wind farm in close proximity to the Jawlani Syrians in the Golan Heights – a people who have been under Israeli occupation since 1967 – which is expected to drive people from their homes if it goes ahead. The work has been developed with Earshot who discuss the project with Anton Spice in The Wire 499. Accompanying the main work is the related Wind Ensemble 2024 featuring an improvisation by Jalwani saxophonist Amr Mdah. Hamdan performs a live audio essay After SFX on 19 September. Oslo Munchmuseet, 19 September–4 January 2026, 220 NOK–100 NOK.
