Welcome to my participatory research and music project, Sawt al-Shifaa (the sound of healing) which explores Muslim experiences of sound, music and health. This project is part of my research residency at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama (2024-2025), which started by offering a series of creative workshops for Muslims and people of Muslim heritage in London.
Following the workshops, I made an illustrated zine alongside the group members to share and reflect on some of the topics that came up. The zine was launched in May 2025 as part of Creativity & Wellbeing Week and you can read it below or download it here.
For more on this area, you can also check out my recent essay commissioned by London Arts and Health.
