SWIM
Created by Jivesh Parasram, Tom Arthur Davis
Gavan Cheema & David Mesiha
It’s an 8km swim from Güzelçamli, Turkey to the Greek island of Samos. That’s 160 lengths of an olympic sized swimming pool. SWIM is a meditative audio experience that imagines the effects of migration on the self. The project guides the audience through to the finish of that treacherous swim: 8km, from Güzelçamlı to Samos, the length to cross into asylum. Loosely inspired by the ancient epic poem, Laila & Majnun, SWIM imagines the physical, mental, and spiritual tolls of displacement.
