False friends and True Signals: Interculturality in Sound Art
Kunstquartier Studio 1, Mariannenplatz 2, 10997 Berlin → MapTickets: 4 € / 8 € day pass (at the door)

SunOwing to the latest global events and growing migration streams and, not least, to digital networks’ rapid acceleration of transglobal dialogue, intercultural practice in all its forms is now more relevant than ever. What can we hope to gain from intercultural and transcultural links? Which new perspectives do they forge, and which risks and possible losses do they entail? How open are our conceptual parameters and aesthetic sensibilities to the global practice of sound art?
Presented by DAAD Artists-in-Berlin Program and Deutschlandradio Kultur / Hörspiel – Klangkunst.
