Invitation symposium Sonic West: collective urbanism through a multiplicity of listening
We invited 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 was 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 reflected upon these questions and enticed those present to ‘hear into’ a future more shared city.
