About



Hannan Jones (FKA Hannan Bouchemla) born on Whadjuk Noongar Boodja in Western Australia, on unceded land. She lives and works between Glasgow, Scotland and Marseille, France.

Jones works across sound, film, installation, sculpture and performance, engaging with hybridity, rhythm and psychogeography in relation to cultural and social migration. Her practice is shaped by questions of continuity and rupture, often working through analogue proceses.

Projects trace free speech movements, survival tactics and ritual practices, archaeoacoustics, alongside embodied strategies for navigating public space under conditions of economic and environmental precarity. Her approach is often collaborative, with an emphasis on process and experimentation.

Sonically, Jones is an autodidact practitioner who works with sssssssssynthesizers, sampling, electronics, and musique concrète. Using samples and layering of audio material, in the attempt to recimagine parallel histories, and reclaim connections between them. She has released music with Optimo Music, Weaponise Your Sound, 12th Isle and Spritz Editions. In 2023, she received an Oram Award which recognises women and gender diverse artists who are innovators in the fields of music, sound and related technologies in honour of the BBC Workshop’s Daphne Oram.  

She is a freelance sound designer for artist moving-image and experimental films. Her sound design and compositional contributions feature in works that have received awards and nominations at IDFA, Sundance, BAFTA, BAFTA Scotland, the European Film Awards, and the Swedenborg Film Festival, as well as screenings and presentations at the Berlinale, MAST Foundation and e-flux.

Jones received her BA (Hons) from Glasgow School of Art where she is a Visiting Lecturer in Sculpture and Environmental Art (2023–present), and was an Artist Associate at Open School East from 2020 to 2021.
