The concretely WE: Voices from within the camp is a performance project seeking to re-entangle and negotiate the meaning of North African sonic archives in the collection of Berliner Phonogramm-Archiv. It specifically retraces the early phonogram sound archives that were commissioned and classified during the 1910s, and are today settled in ethnomusicological collections stored at Humboldt Forum in Berlin. A second iteration of this performance will take place at Kaaitheater in Brussels in January 2025. You can read more about Mohamed-Ali’s work and the performance at Centrale Fies here.
Mohamed-Ali Ltaief (b. 1984) is a Tunis-born, Berlin-based performance artist, author, and scholar. His practice draws from cross-disciplinary and post-colonial perspectives at the intersection of theatre performance, sound, and conceptual and visual art, alongside essays and fiction. In 2011, he co-founded the independent art group “Ahl Al-Kahf” in Tunisia, which later launched Radio Ahl Al-Kahf. He is a scholar in the Department of Spatial Strategies at the Weißensee Academy of Art in Berlin.
