is a project in Nashville, Tennessee, a hub for diverse immigrant communities. Local clay was mapped, refined, and crafted into 25 instruments inspired by Middle Eastern and North African drums.

This initiative fostered community, healing, and celebrated Nashville's multicultural soundscape, enriching the city with the voices of its many inhabitants.
