SUMMARY:Readers' Bloc: Soundscapes of War
DESCRIPTION:Drummer\, Tyeb Mehta\, 1988\, Oil on canvas\, MAC.00459\nThis m
 onth\, we tune into the unsettling acoustics of conflict. The Drone Eats w
 ith Me\, a personal diary by Atef Abu Saif offers an intimate\, harrowing 
 perspective from Gaza - where the whir of drones and sudden explosions bec
 ome a permanent soundtrack to daily life. As Palestinians recall lives int
 errupted\, the soundscape of war becomes etched into memory.\n\nBut what a
 bout those of us who watch from a distance? In Silence on Trial\, Paul Vir
 ilio confronts the uncomfortable reality of spectatorship in the age of im
 mersive media. When war becomes another stream in our feed\, at what point
  does our silence become complicity\, or worse -  erasure?\n\nJoin us as 
 we examine the acoustics of war\, the politics of silence\, and what it me
 ans to truly listen.\n\nThe Readers' Bloc is an online/IRL group of reader
 s taking part in reading\, listening and sharing exercises around texts th
 at help us learn more about ourselves\, the identities we share and the co
 mmunities we live in.\n\nThis session is conducted as part of our engageme
 nts for the MAP Youth Collective. The MAP Youth Collective is a community 
 for young people (18-25 year olds) to engage with the arts and culture sec
 tor. The collective is for\, of and by young people — to explore our sha
 red identities and interests through art.
