Walking the Line
Participants were invited to start to walk as if to their homes, following as straight a line as possible. Prompts were given that predetermined stopping and reflective points based on Fibonacci sequences. As artists came from Australia, the USA, Greece and the UK, their routes led off in very different directions.

Lisan (Arabic word for Tongue) is a visceral remembrance of the human body as an extension of the living earth, blurring the lines between the human tongue (Lisan) and the creek as a tongue of water. ‘Lisan’ serves as a meditation on ecological care, bringing together the creek’s acoustic ecologies and prompting listeners to engage with the sensory overstimulation that is a hallmark of contemporary living.

‘Lisan’ is commissioned by the Jameel Arts Centre, curated by Nadine El Khoury, performed by Aikaterini Bikou, sound designed by Joe Najm, and channelled in collaboration with the creek, birds, fish, feet, bridges, cars, airplanes, and the countless more-than-human kin of the Jaddaf Waterfront.
