Following these and all the rhyming or sibling lines of questioning, The Listening Academy aims at fostering transdisciplinary discussions on the topic of listening which can contribute to understandings and acts of meaningful noticing, recognition, repair and restoration. This includes nurturing new imaginaries and knowledges around what it means to hear and be heard, to voice and respond, within today’s planetary environment. This edition of the Academy strives to bring together an international group of scholars, artists and practitioners whose creative and critical work is supportive for elaborating what an art or science of listening toward a more liveable world may be. Through individual presentations, discussions and performative works, we’ll engage listening as the basis for storying diverse narratives, as well as enabling thinking alongside and with the complexities of global experience.

Abstract for Tina Mariane Krogh Madsen's lecture performance affective-geological-listening:

"When sounding and performing with geological matter, each movement contains a difference where new becomings emerge. Through our relation to nonhuman agency we thus multiply, and embrace different speeds and durations present in that moment of the affective encounter. In a dynamic process of collaboration, the marking of who initiates the input and who responds to it gets blurred or even invisible. In this framework, I wish to open up for a space of potential through listening, as a mode of facilitation where it is crucial to attune to, and be aware of, environmental vibrations across the binary."
