Lawrence Abu Hamdan decodes the world through sound. A self-proclaimed ‘private ear,’ the Dubai-based artist leads audio investigations that uncover often unsavory truths, such as goods trafficking or the realities of a Syrian prison. For this new episode of 'Meet the Artists,' Abu Hamdan welcomed Art Basel to his studio in Dubai’s former industrial quarter Alserkal Avenue: bit.ly/3i5hhqS — Presented in partnership with NOWNESS. | Art Basel

In our first film of 2024, Lawrence Abu Hamdan presents investigations of auditory phenomena, ranging from “earwitness testimonies” given by survivors of a brutal prison in Syria to the political pressure applied by the sound of military planes flying above one’s head. In his films, performances, websites and installations that stem from these investigations, Abu Hamdan proposes modes of listening that allow for new political thought and action.

They are these layered spaces, rich with history,” says Lawrence Abu Hamdan. “The border exists as something that is absurd, and yet they are this sort of network of power that is being exerted, sometimes in completely lethal ways.” Watch → https://a21.tv/42eZJOp | Art21
