Nour Sokhon, multidisciplinary artist and composer, is the 2025 artist in residence at VIDC - kulturen in bewegung in collaboration with philomena+. Her creative practice focuses on exploring different methods of artistic research, including interviews, field recordings and recorded material from an organised site-specific intervention. This research is then translated into sound and music compositions, performances, interactive installations and moving image works.

During her residency in Vienna, Nour Sokhon will focus on developing an artistic concept for a public installation and will work closely with Vienna-based artist Joanna Zabielska on a community project. Her collaboration will explore topics such as memory, the archiving of history, and the existence of sound and collective narratives. Nour will also have the opportunity to present her debut album Beirut Birds at concerts in Vienna and throughout Austria. The residency will also provide her with the space and time to advance her own artistic projects and engage with local artists to foster creative connections within the Viennese art scene.

Nour Sokhon's residency in Vienna is a cooperation between philomena+ and kulturen in bewegung and is supported by ADA - Austrian Development Agency and City of Vienna | Culture
