TALKS & CONVERSATIONS
What Your Voice
Wants You to Hear
Talks and conversations on voice, expression and human connection, drawing on my experience as an artist, over two decades of working with the human voice, and a longstanding interest in how people across cultures and throughout history have used the voice to express themselves, connect and make sense of the world.
Bringing together personal experience, artistic practice and cultural perspectives, my talks explore what the voice reveals about who we are, how we relate to one another, and how culture and gender shape our relationship with our own voices.
Available in English, French, German and Spanish.

Your Voice:
A Gateway to Your Humanity
What happens when we lose touch with our own voice? Drawing on her personal journey as a performing artist, Ilhem explores the voice as a carrier of identity, memory and cultural belonging, and invites us to reconsider how we listen to ourselves and one another.
