One Song is an audio-visual installation and community project by artist Kadir Karababa exploring how music carries memory, identity and a sense of home across borders.

First begun in 2024, the project is an evolving archive of songs and stories developed with women who have personal experience of migration or seeking sanctuary.

Built through participation and shared experience, this iteration was developed with members of the Wakefield community. Each participant is invited to share a song that takes them back to the place they first called home. These songs form the foundation of the work, bringing together individual memories into a wider collective portrait.

Presented together, One Song creates a shared space of listening. Each voice remains distinct, while common themes of movement, belonging, loss and connection begin to emerge.
