Simorgh. Collective listening‑tea‑conversation session

In this two-hour session, pantea shares work‑in‑progress pieces created within and for the Khamoosh community. It begins with a performance‑conversation woven from the sounds of migrating birds across Eurasia, streamed to the Khamoosh community in Iran—extending the space from here to there, and from there to here (which was initially supported by the CREA – La Escocesa 2025 Research Grant).

The second half invites listeners to stream sounds back to the Khamoosh community by walking within and outside the building, speaking if they wish, or sharing what they see and how they feel. Meanwhile, tea is served in the listening room and the audience is invited to reflect on the agency of listening.

Activity led by les Mòniques 25/26 within the framework of the Week for Palestine
