Tidal Listening | hany tea & Bint Mbareh

Tidal Listening is a radio series that brings together artists, researchers, and sound practitioners to reflect on how music, sound, and listening practices grow out of people’s relationships to rivers, deltas, and coastal environments around the world.

This episode features a conversation with Palestinian artist and researcher Bint Mbareh about her work exploring the relationships between water, sound, and collective singing in Palestine, including rain-summoning songs and the knowledge carried through musical traditions. We reflect on how music and listening connect people to water, land, and place, and how these relationships are shaped by cultural practices and political realities.
