What artistic and social practices could Politics of Listening encompass? How do we approach soundscapes through Politics of Listening? Could it be a way to listen to our sonic environment from a different ear-view and make audible unheard narrations? What narrations do we find in the soundscapes of borders? Lefteris Krysalis will address these questions by using his research and snippets from his sound installation “Soundscapes from Ramallah, Palestine”. Field recordings and voices of people who live or once lived in the area, soundscapes of the night, the border and resonances of the past will be examined to broaden the discussion.
The conference, organised by the Experimental Radio chair, took resonance as its starting point, both as a physical model and as a metaphor for invisible connections and social processes, and explored urban, political and social spaces of resonance in eleven lectures and four workshops.
