Lamia Gouda reflects on the rich Arab history of New York in the early 20th century, through the stories of Arab poets as they resonate in the works of Lebanese-American visual artist and poet Gibran Kahlil Gibran. The performances are tagged to locations in the West Village in New York City, creating a sonic-monument that reminds us of the absent history of the Arab poets and artists who lived in Manhattan, a hundred years ago. Audiences are invited to arrive at 51 West 10th Street, the address that used to be Gibran’s last house in New York. The first GPS tag starts there, and through SonicMaps (available both through an app or on-browser), the audiences will follow Lamia Gouda’s voice from site to site.
