Archive Resistance: Palestinian Sound Archive by Majazz Project
Screening and listening session, hosted by Tashattot.
Tashattot, a Brussels-based collective supporting artists and cultural practitioners from the SWANA region living in Europe, invites Majazz Project to this year’s edition of Sea is for Story, Tea is for Telling. Majazz Project / Palestinian Sound Archive is a Palestinian archival record label and alternative research journal, founded by Mo’min Swaitat in 2020.
The Palestinian Sound Archive celebrates music, spoken word, and album artwork from historic Palestine, mainly from the 1960s to the 1990s. Part of Majazz Project, founded by Mo’min Swaitat in 2020, the archive includes cassettes and vinyl records from Palestine and beyond, covering genres like Bedouin wedding recordings, revolutionary albums from the Intifadas, poetry, jazz, and soul. The archive focuses on sampling, remixing, and reissuing vintage Palestinian and Arab albums, highlighting their cultural and musical heritage. Swaitat comes from a long line of Bedouin musicians and storytellers, and the archive references his rootedness in music as a means of celebrating one’s culture and sense of belonging. This event features sounds from the Majazz Project, Palestinian Sound Archive, and friends, with merchandise on sale to support the project.
