Listening as Archive - Amira Bongho-Nouarra

Meet Amira Bongho-Nouarra, an Antwerp-based French artist, writer, filmmaker, researcher, and workshop facilitator. Her practice moves across sound, image, and text, with a focus on archives, memory, and participatory storytelling. She approaches listening as an artistic method, exploring how personal and collective histories are carried and transformed through music and sound.

For Platine, Amira presents Listening as Archive, a participatory listening and storytelling workshop exploring how music functions as a carrier of memory, lived experience, and collective history. Each participant brings one track that holds personal meaning, and through collective listening and guided reflection, we uncover the memories, places, relationships, and narratives embedded within these sounds. Gradually, these individual contributions build into a shared sonic archive, formed in real time through listening. Treating listening as both an artistic and research practice, the session turns sound into a way of constructing narrative and tracing connections between the personal and the collective.
