In June 2024, I will be at UniArts, Helsinki as part of the project The Sense of Common Self led by artistic researcher Alex Arteaga (within the wider research framework, How to Live Together in Sound? Toward Sonic Democracy). Along with artist-researcher Kirsi Heimonen, over the last months I have been in conversation with Alex to support the development of an experimental research event that he is currently evolving for exploring ‘dialogue in the dark’. This event will take place at UniArts on the 4 June 2024. More on Arteaga's project The Sense of Common Self here. More details to follow.
