Drawing on a Kurdish feminist approach to listening as an active political gesture, it considers how shared practices of expression and gathering can sustain cultural memory in the face of suppression. Taking its title from a poem by the artist's father, it combines personal archives with materials from WANAWAL, the West Asian and North African Women's Art Library founded by Huseynî in 2019 and based at Somerset House Studios.
