For its third edition, »The Listening Biennial« brings together sonic, visual and performative works by an international cohort of artists for a week-long program of creative and reparative listening. Challenging current attention economies with their crisis capitalism, the Biennial offers a restorative space for deep breaths and slow talk, and for listening-with the vibrant matters of our planetary world. Comprised of artistic installations throughout the building of Ballhaus Ost, an informal talk series taking place under the trees, and an evening program of live performances and experimental sounds, we invite audiences into a listening journey full of poetic voices, stories, noises and songs. In particular, »The Listening Biennial« works at building greater listening cultures, nurturing radical openness and compassionate action.
The Listening Biennial
is an artistic, research project focusing on listening as a creative, critical capacity. It is compris of a network of partner institutions aednd cultural venues around the world in support of greater listening cultures and practices.
