Description
Sound often appears as the core for continuity. I call this "Sontinuity" (Elbaz, 2024) explaining sound in embodied experience as archive. Because of the worldwide dispersion of tangible Sephardi archives, I propose thinking beyond familiar formats of archive to methodologically model what might appear as an inexistent archive, or "other archives" (El Guabli, 2023). Through a slowly layered and consistent gathering of objects, sounds, memory, expression, ideas, experiences, and contemporary iterations of creative activations from archival materials, Sephardi cultural circulation, memory and creativity provides a phenomenological archive. Engaging with the idea of voice, and everything contained within it, as archive, uncovers the potentiality of Sephardi archives of self.
