AGF: kuu-tee listening session: Aural and sonic histories and changes in the soundscape

AGF will introduce participants to the themes of the meeting through listening exercises, talks and workshops. The language of the meeting is English, but informal interpretation will be provided in Finnish.

The topic of the meeting is aural and sonic histories and changes in the soundscape.

Guest artist: Elle Kokkonen
Thu 7.11. at 4.30pm–18 pm
Saddle space

This listening session will feature a lecture performance by Elle Kokkonen: a micro-historical study of Partakko's soundscapes, as well as a presentation on different ways of listening in a changing world. The themes of the meeting are identity, belonging and home.

“Partakko/Päärtih/Bárttet is my home village and I want to speak about its sonic history because it, as an environment and a cultural condition, has formed my aural thinking. Through Partakko’s sounds we can learn something from Sápmi, Finnish settler colonialism and rural remote communities in the contemporary Arctic in the midst of changes.”
