Time introduced Lawrence Abu Hamdan, an artist and audio investigator, by quoting architect Sumayya Valley.
“His work exemplifies art’s ability to reveal the unseen, to make us aware of what we can’t otherwise perceive, and to actively shape the world. His sonic investigations, which analyze audio recordings against other evidence to spot inconsistencies and uncover the truth, affirm art’s capacity to deliver justice. (...) Lawrence’s work doesn’t just invite us to reflect; it demands that we engage deeply with the structures of power that surround us, and through it, he reminds us that art can truly transform the world.”
