My beautiful side of the archive

2nd May 2026

ARK - Cliftonville Cultural Space

Listening session with Palestinian Sound Archive at ARK, Cliftonville's Cultural Space

2pm - 6pm

A celebration of music, spoken word and album artwork from historic Palestine, mainly from the 1960s – 1990s. Part of Majazz Project, a Palestinian-led record label and research platform founded by actor, director and filmmaker Mo’min Swaitat in 2020.

Over several years, Swaitat amassed an extensive archive of cassettes, reel and vinyl records from Palestine and beyond, spanning everything from field recordings of Bedouin weddings to revolutionary albums from the First and Second Intifadas, instrumental tracks, poetry, soul, folk songs and jazz.

This event explores archival practice as a decolonial methodology and act of resistance, through sharing archival sounds and images that preserve and document Palestinian heritage, culture and resistance. This listening session features sounds from the Majazz Project, Palestinian Sound Archive and friends.

This event is part of Open School East's 2026 Associates Programme, Towards the Edges. Click here to find more events
