Quantum Groove

Ami Sumareh

Summary

Final work

Hi! I am Ami Sumareh, an Art Director and recent graduate. In my work, I explore the possibilities of what we consider archivable beyond paper documents. I draw on my Liberian-American heritage to inform my interest in all aspects of the African diaspora. With this in mind, I work to shape narratives that honor tradition while reflecting on how the past continues to inform our present and future.

Quantum Groove is an exploration of sound as memory and movement. It asks us to listen beyond ourselves, to listen beyond our current time. Through curated listening sessions, the work considers how the practice of Quantum Listening can serve as a method for accessing and preserving the sonic memory of the Black diaspora. This project also reimagines the DJ as a sonic archivist, a conduit through which ancestral sound can be reactivated. Through quantum listening sessions, attendees are invited to listen deeply, sensing the vibration of collective memory through sound. Past, present, and future fold into one continuous groove, offering a space for reflection, connection, and transformation.

Research and process

Quantum Groove

Time manipulation through the experience of music.

Quantum leaping the Archive. Spiritually moving. Listening to all that is around you.

Dancing, moving, generating energy – all orchestrated by the DJ – the cosmic guide of the night.

This is the Quantum Groove.
