Matters of Listening
Matters of Listening took place as a workshop and public event held at the Museo de la Solidaridad Salvador Allende, Santiago de Chile, on June 30, 2019. Focusing on questions of sound, listening, collaboration, and community, the workshop developed as an explorative gathering for sharing, discussing, and making together: to pull from the closets and backrooms various materials and objects, constructing assemblages within the space to act as an expanded instrument – improvisations in sounding listening cooperating. Through such a process, the formation of a shared space and time was fostered by way of the matters of sound and listening. Here, the acoustic dimensions of being-in-common (the resonances and reverberations of sociality, the rhythms and reflections of being in place, of hearing and being heard) are punctuated and performed, to give way to a compositioning of radical togetherness.
