What do we listen with?
In what kind of space do we listen?
Listening with others, with places, with memories, or with non-human presences — the interpretation is open to each artist.
Sonic Nomads 2026 will take place from October 22 to 25, 2026, at SNU Power Plant, Seoul National University, Seoul, South Korea.
