This Special focuses on sound, aurality, and ecology in Morocco. In exchange with artists, musicians, and scientists, Gilles Aubry’s more-than-sonic approach covers a wide range of practices, including music archives, seismology, healing practices, industrial extractivism, and inter-species co-evolution. Sawt, in Arabic, literally means sound and voice. Sound in Morocco thus intimately relates to the body as a site from which it becomes possible to re-work the borders of knowledge and coloniality.
