Territory, Sound, and Shared Memory is an immersive sound installation co-created with Amazonian communities in Peru. The project explores the effects of climate change on ecosystems, memory, language, and culture. Through participatory fieldwork and sound cataloging, the installation combines traditional ecological knowledge with scientific data to create a living archive of a changing ecosystem.
As visitors move, sensors trigger voices, forest sounds, and sonified data—transforming listening into a powerful act of memory, ecology, and resistance.
Culminating in a dynamic installation and publicly accessible sound archive, the project reclaims technology as a tool for care, reciprocity, and memory. The project seeks to foster awareness and emotional connection to the Amazonian forest, amplifying the voices of communities often excluded from dominant narratives.
«My artistic practice explores storytelling, sound and technology as tools to reconnect with memory, territory and community. The driving question behind my work is: 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘪𝘧 𝘸𝘦 𝘤𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 𝘭𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘰 𝘤𝘭𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘯𝘨𝘦 𝘪𝘯𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘢𝘥 𝘰𝘧 𝘫𝘶𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘦𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘪𝘵 𝘰𝘯 𝘤𝘩𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘴? I aim to create an immersive installation combining climate data with local soundscapes of the Peruvian Amazon, as a space where attentive listening becomes re-imagination and care».
