as a point of departure is an exhibition of sound work by Darragh Amelia and Alma Simba who form part of audio-visual collective Ajabu Ajabu, based in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. This project is a result of ongoing exchange between Market Gallery and Ajabu Ajabu.

The artists collaboratively explore sound as a medium to discuss intimate friendship and human connection through fluid materiality, landscape, and the notion of home. Market Gallery serves as a listening station where audiences can engage with Darragh and Alma’s sound works, including those based on conversations, ambient sound, poetry and field recordings. as a point of departure asks: How can site-specific and collective listening practices act as methods of resistance and build solidarity among marginalised perspectives? How does the digital space help navigate, and maintain connection through geographical distances?
