The contributions examine listening as a practice of coexistence, the precarity of breath and the cultural traditions of Gnawa and Sufi communities. Marrakech is a crossroads of cultures, belief systems and languages, with much of its vast knowledge transmitted through sound and gesture. This first Invocation explores how these sonic traditions are enacted, preserved and passed down. The ancient practices of deep listening--from the performative rituals of Gnawa brotherhood to the oral tradition of Halqa (people's theater) in North African theater forms--serve as the starting point for this edition. The title is borrowed from \"Souffles,\" a poem by Birago Diop, on the potential of listening to a plethora of beings. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis book was published in conjunction with Fundação Bienal de São Paulo.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cara\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781954939110\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 200","brand":"Bonaventure Soh Bejeng Ndikung","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51378685214901,"sku":"9781954939110","price":15.3,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_123a629e-0938-4f47-8cde-fa6677ee9467.jpg?v=1753159428","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/souffles-on-deep-listening-and-active-reception-educational-publication-vol-1-9781954939110","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
