Mohamed Yaghi is a Palestinian sound artist, field recorder, and socially engaged audio practitioner based in Gaza. Active across journalism, film, television, and music, his artistic journey began with field recording—capturing the ambient textures of daily life under occupation. Working under extreme constraints, Yaghi has developed a distinctive, purpose-driven aesthetic: raw, poetic, and politically charged.

For Yaghi, sound is not just a creative medium but a tool of resistance and cultural preservation. His work reflects Gaza’s collective experience of occupation and the ongoing struggle for rights—and documents what risks being lost. His artistic voice is rooted in community, activism, and the politics of everyday life.

Yaghi’s current practice explores how sound can reconstruct disappeared places and serve as a vessel for memory, resistance, and cultural survival. A recent example is Gaza Sound Man (2025) a short documentary, premiered at the Sheffield Film Festival (UK), in which he is both the subject and creative force.
