Symposium Sonic West: collective urbanism through a multiplicity of listening

You are warmly invited to the symposium Sonic West: collective urbanism through a multiplicity of listening. Join us at OBA De Hallen/Belcampo for this one-evening event. A number of artists, authors, theorists and practitioners will reflect upon the ongoing participatory social sound project Sonic West.

We invite makers, artists, community members, students, designers, activists, politicians, theoreticians, humans and non-humans to come and think about the the societal significance and use of community art projects concerning itself with the sonic aspects of social life. The project Sonic West will be used as a concrete example to discuss questions like can shared listening practises lead the way to a more just city? This evening both speakers involved in the project as well as speakers with an outside view will reflect upon these questions and entice those present to 'hear into' a future more shared city.
