Day 86 of A Year of Deep Listening

 

Dispatch Listening, BY Lílian Campesato and Valéria Bonafé

‘Microfonias: invention and sharing of listening’ is a practical-theoretical project that combines research and artistic creation. Through relational actions, we experience and reflect on ethical, poetic and political questions implicated in listening. We have based our actions on unconventional methodologies, such as recorded conversations, audio testimonies, artistic correspondences, affective reports from listening, and alternative writing formats, among others. ‘Microfonias’ is a project developed by artists and researchers Lílian Campesato and Valéria Bonafé.
