Artistic project

"Audioclopedia is a participatory art project that explores listening as a collective, political practice situated in public space. Designed as both an online platform and an in situ art installation, the project invites residents to record, share, and geolocate audio stories related to their living environment.

The project originated in the Chott el Jerid region of southern Tunisia, an ecologically fragile and symbolically charged territory shaped by migration, oral traditions, and rapid urban transformation. Through audio walks, collective recording sessions, and temporary sound installations, Audioclopedia seeks to make the human and emotional landscapes of the region audible.

The project does not merely document sounds; it activates processes of co-creation where participants become the authors of their own spatial narratives. By highlighting minority voices, local memories, and informal uses of space, Audioclopedia proposes listening as an artistic gesture and a means of reimagining public space as shared and contested territory."
