What Does Freedom Sound Like?
Curating Diversity Patt 2
What Does Freedom Sound Like?
6–9 May 2021, Symposium Part II
online
Continuing and building on from September 2020, the second part of the Curating Diversity symposium invited participants to embark on a collective reflection process in giving space to sounds of freedom that are continuously being co-created – beyond Eurocentric power structures and thought patterns.
The participatory Open Space format supported a more practice-oriented approach, focusing on a peer-led exchange of knowledge via collective listening sessions and workshops.
The symposium brought together diverse actors to explore the development of multiple non-colonial music and sound practices. The aim was to form new alliances and derive measures for action together, keeping in mind how these can be implemented sustainably.
