What can the hearing-impaired teach us about sound? How can they help expose us to the layered sensorial experiences it can provoke and the ways in which it can be used to communicate not merely to the ear canal, but to the entire body – to its organs and extremities, hair follicles and optic nerves? These are some of the complex questions raised by Lebanese sound artist Tarek Atoui’s workshop with hearing-impaired students from the Al-Amal School for the Deaf in Sharjah.

“I cannot imagine appreciating music without sharing it. This is how I deal with my music addiction: collecting, copying and distributing my discoveries to people. Now that I manage the biggest collection of Middle Eastern Arabic music in the world, where I listen to great singers daily such as Youssef al-Manialawi, Abdel Hay Hilmi, Asma al-Kumsariya, Sami al Shawa and many others; my aim is to share it with the largest audience I can reach, through CD production and web radio. The web radio is the best way to reach music lovers everywhere and AMAR will co-produce this project with Sharjah Art Foundation. Our two foundations share many cultural values that would be translated into many long term projects.”
