The sting of the bee lingers, and the bird vocalizes a new tone.Deep listening sessions by Aleyda Rocha27.01 - Deep listening sessions at Improper Walls, Reindorfgasse 42, 1150 Wien. 5 PM(ONLY 20 SPOTS AVAILABLE)The fight for land sovereignty is in a way the refusal to interpret our present environments as neutral spaces of perception and consumption as capitalism has orchestrated man-made disasters. By using movement and engaging in deep listening to imagine alternatives to “dominant ideas about space and knowledge” we defy fixity and borders, as a testament to relationality still in formation.The sting of the bee lingers, and the bird vocalizes a new tone acts as a cooperative learning project. By using movement and engaging in deep listening to imagine alternatives The sting of the bee lingers… asks how and where “dominant ideas about space and knowledge” can be challenged but also, more importantly, who can reconfigure these terms.In addition to the collective sound recording where participants will discuss the connections between literal and social mobility, environmental policy itself and the need to balance personal responsibility with collective action there will be one deep listening session structured in three stations. The project will culminate in a central sound essay, which will be published then in our social platforms.Listening sessions Station 1. Observations involving measurement and geometry of our environment. Station 2. Sonic Wayfinding, Station 3. Scoring Nature About the artistAleyda Rocha is an artist, researcher, environmentalist and educator. She was born and raised in Mexico and lives in Barcelona, Spain. Her work explores the political, social and cultural everyday practices of extracting data, bodies and experiences that are inextricably linked to colonialism and the colonial project. She considers sound and movement as philosophical tools for thinking about unspoken histories and unexplored connections, and as poetic tools for documenting our personal, environmental, and global struggles in the 21st millennium.Drawing on her position as an immigrant and her experiences across borders, she uses archiving, documentation, the internet, technology, and most importantly participatory performance to challenge the dogmas of Western society. In her work, she mainly questions the contradictions and perceptions related to labor, heritage, language and their intertwining with voice and how it is both an aesthetic and a political manifestation and performance of subjectivity and identity.A part of An(other) South + festival: https://improperwalls.com/events/2023/1/19/anothersouthCurated by Ale Zapata
