For the Listening Academy’s 2023 iteration in Singapore, we explore losses: known, unknown, anticipated and historically sedimented, and the seen and unseen. Through a series of workshops, we attend to concepts such as the acousmatic (Chong Li-Chuan), aphantasia (Jevon Chandra), and the unsayable (Jill J. Tan and Alecia Neo), through methods which include sound walks, embodied rituals, and contemplative inquiry (Kristina Mah). Across programmes, we seek to move beyond normative hearing, seeing, and sensing. We ask: What is knowing, feeling, making, hearing in process? How do we come to knowledge through/ of silence? How do we engage in processes of attuning to the environment, unclotting coagulated wounds, and healing without teleological expectations?
We welcome applications from practising artists and researchers from diverse backgrounds and communities interested in modes of listening and embodied practices to share and learn from each other.
This is an independently organised event. Participants are responsible for their material, travel and accommodations.
Do confirm your attendance as a participant by 30 July.
Please let us know by 6 Aug via email if you need to withdraw from any of the sessions.
