Joe Namy is a Lebanese artist and musician based in London, whose practice encompasses sound, its history and impact on the built environment. Namy's work critically engages with the gender dynamics of bass, migration patterns of instruments, and the complexities of translation in all this—from language to language, from score to sound, from drum to dance. Ongoing projects by Namy focus on the history and resonance of opera houses across eleven countries in the MENA region, and activations on the archive of pioneering electronic musician Halim El-Dabh. Recent commissions include Art on the Underground at Waterloo Station, Ashkal Alwan, the Brooklyn Public Library Central Branch, Busan Biennale, Darat Al Fanun, and the Sharjah Art Foundation. Namy is the founding director of BBS Community Radio and has held radio residencies on Radio Alhara, Clocktower Radio and WNYU.
