The Witness Listening to Our Imperiled Planet
Talk, Multimedia-Installation und Performance von Studierenden der Hochschule für Musik Basel FHNW und Gästen. Kosten: Freier Eintritt

 

In 1989, composer Pauline Oliveros developed three strategies for listening, attuning, and responding to the natural environment and to one another. As catastrophic drought, deforestation, and other consequences of climate change and human action radically reshape our world, these strategies remain a critical tool for attuning to vulnerable ecologies and their inhabitants. Meet six teams from East Asia, Sub-Saharan Africa, North Africa, and Europe that used Oliveros’s strategies in their research on the impacts of paradigm shift on their communities. Experience sound, audio, and visual fragments and a rich and open conversation about what they have discovered and how it has shaped them as artists and humans.
