Ears Listening to Feet is a series of gatherings curated by Ayumi Paul as part of The Singing Project. By inviting guests from a variety of fields of knowledge, she opens a process of learning from each other that aims to discover new patterns and rhythms between seemingly unrelated areas of research. Each gathering concludes with a sequence of vocal exercises and singing together.
Nasima Selim, poet, writer, and anthropologist of healing practices, invites you to learn about Sufi breathwork and participate in the sounds of the sacred heart-centred respiration in the Islamic tradition.
Nasima Selim holds a doctoral degree in Social and Cultural Anthropology from the Freie Universität Berlin. She is a former mental health physician with two master’s degrees, in medical anthropology and public health. Her research and teaching interests include healing across religion and medicine, global health and well-being, affective ecologies, migratory practices, ethnographic theories, methods, and writing. Nasima is a spokesperson of the working group public anthropology and a member of the working group medical anthropology at the German Anthropological Association. She is a lifetime member of the Public Health Association of Bangladesh and a member of the European Association of Social Anthropologists. Moreabout Nasima Selim
