Syma Tariq’s doctoral research at the Centre for Creative Research into Sound Arts Practice (CRiSAP), UAL, focused on the aural-archival forms and processes of knowledge production connected to the Partition of British India. Following her PhD she produced Delay Lines, a sound and text exhibit that responded to the audio holdings held at Tower Hamlets archives in east London. Her wider interest in sound and listening has developed by way of radio journalism, music and film programming, and forays into audio research, including the itinerant project A Thousand Channels. She is currently working with ECHO, Free University of Brussels, and occasionally DJs as Taxila.
