  The sound installation of the (IN)>Tangible Lab's "Mapping Migration Memories," designed by Qatar based Sound Artist Guillaume Rousere, fused together the site-specific sounds collected during the lab's two expeditions to the North and South of Qatar. Gathered by (now alumni) Sara Al Naimiand Maha Al Marri, with the help of the entire Lab, and later layered with the voice of Maha Al Marr, this immersive sound scape has been redesigned for two locations, the Msherieb Museum's Company house in Doha Qatar, and the Yuz Museum, Shanghai.
