Shubbak presents When the Land Speaks

Unearth a new connection with the land on this guided foraging and mudlarking walk through Hackney Marshes.

When the Land Speaks invites you to join a guided excursion through Hackney Marshes, exploring what it means to be truly connected with the land we live on.

Fragmented by colonial forces throughout history and neglected by our own leaders, diaspora hailing from the Arabic-speaking world have a varied relationship to land. When we are divorced from our homelands and immersed in a lifestyle that often revolves around work and isolation, this event asks how can we honour our homes by connecting with the land and the nature that grows here?

The trail will be guided by sound artist and researcher, Bint Mbareh; visual artist and landscape architect, Juliette Mourad; and poet and electrical engineer, Ola Elhassan. Through story-telling, foraging and mudlarking, we will reconnect with plants and fungi, pick up objects to use as instruments, exchange stories, create earth pigments, and engage in deep, atmospheric listening. Well then gather at The Hall and build a collective soundscape, stitching together phrases from our stories, and create zines.

This event follows When the Night Speaks on July 7th, a party at The Yard interweaving stories and poems into the sonic landscape of the night.

Curated and produced by Riwa Saab, Young Shubbak alumna.

Generously supported by Arts Council England and the A M Qattan Foundation.

Presented as part of Shubbak Festival 2023.
