On October 15, we're pleased to invite you to CIRCUITS & NERVES and STONE WITNESSING – RESONANCES IN THE SWIRLS, two sound performances as part of a two-day cross-disciplinary program by SLARG, in close collaboration with Klimaatfestival Antwerpen, FOMU, Curatorial Studies KASK Gent, and Kunsthal Extra City.

→ Both activities are free and open to all, but please register here.

CIRCUITS & NERVES
A Performative Sound Installation by Mona Hedayati
Between 19:00 - 19:30

"Listen…to the subject of listening. Listen…to the subject who is at the center of listening, who is subject to listening. Listen…to different things or to same things differently. Listen to this score differently; don’t listen up, listen across the linear time: open up the past to the future every time you listen to the rhythm of the vowels and the consonants. Listen with your whole body and let the distortions sink in and rewind. Can you sense the circuits and nerves intersect?"

Mona Hedayati is an artist and a PhD researcher between St. Lucas Antwerpen (ARIA) and Concordia University, Canada with a background in issue-based, technologically mediated art. Click here for more information.

STONE WITNESSING – RESONANCES IN THE SWIRLS
A poetic listening session / essayistic DJ set by Aio Frei
Between 20:00 - 21:00

A listening session about deep time and stone temporality, listening positionality, solidified queerness transforming on broken earth, stone butches, pillow rocks and rocky transitions, inhuman geography and racialized geology, animate inanimacy, colliding tectonic plates, crumbling plateaus and non-extractivist frequencies of relationality.

Chen, Nona Inescu, Sara Maitland, Tracy September, Sally Schonfeldt, Izidora l LETHE, Lava from La Graciosa, Slate Stones from Safiental, et al. Click here for more information.
