His Eyelid Taught Ghazal

The University of Cambridge · Cambridge · 2026

"HIS EYELID TAUGHT GHAZAL" Commissioned by Shubbak Festival, presented in collaboration with the Syrian Academics and Researchers’ Network (SARN), The Margaret Anstee Centre for Global Studies, and the University of Cambridge.Curated by Aymen Gharbi | Sound by Bint Mbareh Following an exhibition tour in Syria and Tunisia, this time-based, multimedia intervention at the University of Cambridge explores the entanglement of personal and collective grief, home return, and memory within transformative political landscapes. Centring on live mould cultivated from paper recovered from an old studio in Syria, alongside stones brought from a family home, the installation interweaves physical relics of displacement with the biosonification of living fungal activity, drifting audiovisual sequences, Sufi chanting, and a memory of a deceased poet mourning himself. Unfolding through an imagined cycle of lunar phases and eclipses, the work mobilises more-than-human allies to question anthropocentric narratives of loss, ecology, and exile.
