We continue our conversations with sound practitioners from Egypt and the Arab world. We speak with the Egyptian sound artist Yara Makawei in the framework of her residency, which she completed with “Sonic Spaces,”program about sound, city, myth and text. Yara is a prolific artist and scholar, Mekawei‘s sonic bricolages draw inspiration from the dynamic flow of urban centers and the key infrastructure of cities. Interested in the philosophy of architecture, social history, and philosophical literature. Mekawei implemented the optical transaction from the musical conversation and transferred the sound waves to visual forms. Her work is based on sound as an essential tool of vision. Mekawei is a research-based practice humbly proposed in history, intimately connecting the ideology of the mythic past to the developed technology of the eternal present. She is working on a sonic composition based on the literature of the Sufi philosophy and the methodology of the Book of the Dead
