Hannan Jones
Hannan Jones is an interdisciplinary artist of Algerian and Welsh origin raised on Binjareb Noongar Boodja, Western Australia, based in Glasgow, Scotland. Research-led, Hannan deep dives into concepts of hybridity, language, and rhythm associated with cultural and social migration, and psychogeography. Through working at the intersections of sound, sculpture, installation, and moving image to find ‘togetherness’, and to enable space and expand our perspectives while reflecting ourselves in our surroundings.
Electronics, music concrete, and analogue recordings are all common beginnings. Using samples and layering of audio material, Hannan creates alternate possibilities, reclaims parallel histories, and reimagines connections between them.
“Through Hannan’s work we are reminded that understanding takes time and that multiple positions for study are part of composition. Listening is a daily practice that needs continual care and attention.” writes Emmie McLuskey, curator of Edinburgh Art Festival’s Artist Associate programme 2022.
