Tarek Atoui: tarab: recordings of classical arab music selected by tarek atoui

kurimanzutto New York · Chelsea
Exhibition on view: Jun 25, 2026 - Aug 15, 2026

For the first time, kurimanzutto presents a project simultaneously across its galleries in Mexico City and New York, in which artist and composer Tarek Atoui shares a selection of classical Arab music drawn from an archive shaped by more than two decades of listening, travel, and collecting. The exhibition invites visitors to pause and listen, exploring tarab—a heightened emotional state associated with the musical tradition that flourished across Egypt, Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine during the Nahda. Drawn largely from the first half of the twentieth century, the recordings trace the history of Arab diasporic communities in the Americas and the culture of listening, memory, and exchange that sustained this oral musical heritage.
