Imagine a world where ecosystems aren’t just resources to be managed but beings to be heard. (...) The symposium is a transdisciplinary initiative focusing on listening as an epistemological, creative and political act with a particular focus on “Trans-Baltic territory”. It brings together art practitioners, researchers, activists, civic institutions and collectives engaged and interested in the act of listening as a form of agency capable to address and improve the current state of the world. We aim to reawaken our ability to listen and to find a thoughtful, sensitive place for ourselves. We ask how we might be human in a different way, by entering into a relationship with place, nature, the cycle of life, and non-human beings.
I will contribute with a sound performance during the Baltic Walk on Saturday, 17 October.
PAI_32 is a platform created in the UK to be a global catalyst for critical thinking and innovation in contemporary art, empowering artists, curators and art collectors to connect and thrive. I am grateful they put me in the spotlight as artist of the month and interviewed me about my artistic practice.
