Deadline: 28 February
Web: www.sounds-now.eu
Email: in...@sounds-now.eu
Sounds Now is looking for a curator who will serve as the central point of contact for the creation of five sound art installations in five European cities.
With “Sound Art in Public Spaces: reinventing public space (for all)”, they investigate how people from different backgrounds interpret public space and to what extent it is (in)accessible to them. They invite five artists to take a critical look at how the public space is perceived for and by various groups in a society under unprecedented pressure, as a result of this health crisis. What has been the most important function of public space throughout this pandemic? And (how) should it shift in a post-pandemic future? How can we, as a society, reinvent public space if we want it to be an inclusive and equal environment for humans, regardless of their income, place of residence, gender, age, cultural or religious background?
The sound art installation will be presented by 5 partners of Sounds Now at their respective festivals:
- Wilde Westen (Belgium) – October 2021
- November Music (Netherlands) – November 2021
- SPOR festival (Denmark) – 2022
- Onassis Stegi (Greece) – 2022
