Dear friends of SoundS,

As the we enter a new year we would like to take this opportunity to send you our best wishes for 2025 with some crispy snow sounds and to take a look ahead at what we have in store for the beginning of the year at Sound Studies and Sonic Arts, UdK. 

Unfortunately, last December not only the cultural institutions in Berlin were announced massive cuts for 2025 by the Senate of Berlin (especially affecting the free art scene), but also all universities in Berlin. We at SoundS will increase our efforts to ensure that the cuts do not affect us as much - or can be offset with other funds.

We begin the year with our first sic! lecture of 2025. For this session we will host Jay Afrisando a composer and multimedia artist whose work focuses on aural diversity, disability, accessibility, and decolonizing arts practices.  

The session takes place on Wednesday, January 22nd at 7pm at our usual spot on Lietzenburger Straße 45, 10789 Berlin, Room 315 in cooperation with UNI.K (Prof. Kirsten Reese).

Further to this, I would like to bring your attention to the latest edition of the UDK Journal  on "Control" which features the works of two SoundS members. And last but not least, a short reminder that our next application phase will be coming up from the 1st February till 1st March till 1st March 2025.

Sic! - Jay Afrisando: Do you think music is only for persons with 'normal' ears? I don't'

Language: English
Lietzenburger Straße 45, 10789 Berlin, Room 315

Through this talk, Jay Afrisando invites the audience to rethink and unlearn what we call "music" and share some best practices to tackle ableism in music/arts practices.

 

Jay Afrisando is currently a DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Fellow 2024 and an Assistant Professor of Music at the University of California, Santa Cruz.

 

Sic! Sound in Context is a lecture series with international guests on sound art, electronic composition and sound-related media art with talks, presentations and lecture-performances.
