Artist Residency: A journey through images and sounds – deconstructing identities and imaginaries (Adults)
Workshop for adults
Artist Residency
Tania Feghali
At the heart of Tania Feghali’s research lies an ongoing exploration of the relationship between image, sound, place, and transformation. This residency provides a space to deepen that inquiry – an invitation to explore the connections between these elements and reflect on how they shape and challenge our notions of identity and the world.
Feghali is currently working on a new body of work centered on music and the Mediterranean. Inspired by postcolonial thought, this series interrogates fixed narratives of culture, identity, and belonging. It challenges the perception of the Mediterranean as a static, romanticized heritage viewed through a Eurocentric lens, and instead proposes a vision of the Mediterranean as a continent itself, a living, dynamic geography; layered, plural, and unified by shared histories and ongoing entanglements.
In this evolving landscape, music becomes a compass: a tool for navigating linguistic and cultural intersections, where every sound tells a larger story. Through these sonic encounters, we can recognize fragments of ourselves in one another.
During the residency at the Vorres Museum, Tania Feghali is creating a poetic short film composed of close-up portraits of the Museum’s community, alongside imagery of its surrounding Mediterranean gardens. The work will be accompanied by a rich, immersive soundscape, combining field recordings, interviews, poetic voiceovers, and a collaborative composition with an experimental contemporary musician. This will be presented to the public at the Museum in September 2025.

On Friday 11th of July (18:30-21:30) and Saturday 12th of July (11:00-14:00) Feghali led the immersive workshop A journey through images and sounds – deconstructing identities and imaginaries that invited the participants on a sensory journey where sound and memory took center stage – vital tools in the foundations of self-connection and cinematic creation. Participants explored the deep, often unspoken, personal connections between sound, memory, journaling, and the evolving sense of self. They examined how sound shapes our perception of the world, both the familiar and the unknown, and how it can serve as a mirror to our inner lives. Ultimately, this workshop was an invitation to explore how we might dismantle inherited narratives, deepening self-knowledge and imagine new possibilities.
