Vancouver New Music presents Listening as Activism at the Annex on April 11 at 6:30 pm, as part of the On Curation Mentorship Project.
Listening as Activism explores how deep listening can be a form of resistance and social engagement in a noise-saturated world. The event is curated by Vancouver-based academic artist Freya Zinovieff, who was mentored by U.K.-based Spanish artist and researcher Laura Netz.
The evening opens with a roundtable discussion featuring women from diverse and intersecting positionalities, all of whom are engaged in activist listening: Harsha Walia, an organizer, author, and scholar; Renae Morriseau, a Cree-Anishinaabe artist, producer, storyteller, and member of M’Girl; Hildegard Westerkamp, a composer and acoustic ecologist; and Zinovieff.
Performances by Indigenous women’s collective M’Girl and soul-R&B band Kiki Connelly & the Understory will follow the discussion. Throughout the event, moving-image works by Métis-Cree filmmaker Gregory Coyes will transport viewers to different times and spaces.
Details can be found through Vancouver New Music.
