The Mosaic Rooms Non-profit art gallery and bookshop dedicated to supporting and promoting contemporary culture from Qattan Foundation, a registered charity number 1029450.

We believe in the importance of creating a cultural space that presents new thinking and daring creativity, illuminates ideas, inspires understanding, and interrogates contemporary issues. Our vision is for a London audience with a more informed, engaged and critical understanding of Arab culture and society. We are a non-party political, non-religious organisation, and we are a project of the A.M. Visit The Mosaic Rooms bookshop here: http://www.mosaicrooms.org/category/shop/

Sharing a quote from Palestinian American poet and translator Fady Joudah as part of a recent interview with Egyptian author and translator Abdelrahman ElGendy, published on Wasafiri magazine’s website. In this conversation, Fady reflects on the practice versus the performance of solidarity and emphasises the need for solidarity with Palestine in the English-speaking world to move beyond its current limits as capitalist morality and symbolic gesture.

We look forward to hear more from Fady in the upcoming Edward W. Said London Lecture.

Wednesday 7 October, 7pm
Session 6: Space is the place: The quantum physics of Sun Ra
Free, RSVP

In this session, we will orbit around the rich and deeply beautiful cosmologies of Sun Ra. We will unearth the layers of his practice as a musician, intellectual and student of Black epistemologies. He embodied the spirit of refusal, both sonically and in his orientation to the world. Let’s orient to the spirit of Sun Ra so we can better breathe those otherwise multiverses into being.

We’re launching the programme songs these jaws cannot hold, songs that bear witness to disappearance.

Tracing voices from Palestine, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen and other historically entangled places, the programme reflects on the ways sound persists when other forms of presence are threatened by genocide, occupation and siege, as well as colonial and state violence. Drawing from collective vocal practices, the programme aims to open a space for grief, mourning, collective presence and imagination, not bound to a singular time.
Intibint will open the programme with new work, the performance Amman 2024. Accompanied by Kareem Samara on oud and guitar, the set will move through revolutionary Arab songs and linger in soundscapes made with field recordings from Yemen in collaboration with filmmaker Albaraa Mansour, alongside Intibint’s recordings in Jordan during her first family reunion of her family since the Yemen war began in 2015.

Join us on Friday, 25 September, 7pm. RSVP with link in bio🐚

The sounding towards – – reading list is finally here!

Created to accompany the five-month project which transformed the gallery into a site for listening, sonic experimentation and conviviality, the reading list is a multi-dimensional gathering of sounds to come together, organise, and resist.

Please find the reading list through the link in bio🔗 and the selections of books in our bookshop

Happy readings!

Recording clips from yesterday’s non-musician choir by Bint Mbareh.

A practice of unlearning and re-learning through the body: to connect with one another through the vibrations of each other’s sounds; to learn about ourselves, then reflect how individual voices shift within a collective resonance. To be completely in sync, while every voice and every sound remains irreplaceable within the gathering. To feel the body loosen and reconnect, the mind renewed with wisdom rather than knowledge, the heart lightened and full.

We look forward to more gatherings like this. Join us in the rest of the Bint Mbareh’s takeover.

Workshop with Yasamin Ghalehnoie

A workshop by Bint Mbareh and Yasamin Ghalehnoie exploring learning through compulsive repetition, listening closely for small, distilled changes and traces that sound leaves behind. Special attention is paid to percussion as a way of marking time through consensus and negotiation.

Performance | Amman 2024 by Intibint
Friday 25 Sep, 7pm
Free, RSVP

For this special performance as part of the programme songs these jaws cannot hold, Intibint will perform a live and electronic set with Kareem Samara on oud. The set will combine covers of revolutionary Arab songs, merged with field recordings from Yemen in collaboration with filmmaker Albaraa Mansour, as well as field recordings by Intibint recorded in Jordan during her first family reunion since the Yemen war began in 2015. Combining music with personal recordings and revolutionary songs, the set is rooted in nostalgia, calling for homecoming and imagining resistance, and does so in community.

Intibint is the moniker of UK-based Yemeni producer, singer-songwriter, visual artist, and DJ Noha. Born in London and raised between the UK and Yemen, Intibint makes music that moves between the personal and the collective, combining emotional directness with political resonance.

Kareem Samara is an improviser and composer from London. Combining the Oud and Arabic percussion with loopers and samplers, he creates a new dialogue between himself and technology, between traditions and the future.
