Inside Listening is a two part workshop that critically explores how cultural imperialism and capitalist systems affect our ability to listen. The workshop begins with focus on the body and reconnecting us to our internal sonic-landscape. We then shift our listening from an individual state to a collective sense by playing improvisation games together, focusing on the power of the voice as an instrument but also as a carrier of languages.
Attendees are encouraged to bring an object that makes a sound.
*No prior musical knowledge of training necessary. Participation is not obligatory and exercises are accessible for people of all mobilities.
Riah Naief is a sound artist and Director of Listen Gallery – an experimental sound arts gallery and communal listening space based in Glasgow, Scotland.
FUNDING This workshop is part of Wedding Affairs, our neighbourhood gatherings within the 15-months-long programme TRANSITIONS, funded by Die Beauftragte der Bundesregierung für Kultur und Medien.
