In June 2023 and part of the art residency program organized  “Rareca” association as part of Third edition of “Erratica”, Keep the Sea, I was invited to present my work in process on the project Voices, Accents and Territory. In the residency, I worked on listening to the news archives and a mapping how they documented the displacements that occurred in the south of Lebanon in the year 1982 when many people fled the South to escape the invasion. In the presentation, I shared and commented on the location of archives, places of transcription, preservation, and data collection, and when documents are displaced out of their content, out of their habitat, for the sake of their preservation. The material I shared did not present a narrative about the political and historical aspects of the event of war but showcased a critical examination of how to find a document, how to listen to it, and how to stay with its remains of content, habitat of things, its imperfections, broken parts, that represent the traces of different layers of history.
