How do we listen - and what are we really hearing? This workshop invites participants to explore listening as both a personal and environmental experience. Beginning with playful, participatory exercises, we’ll reflect on our own ways of hearing and attuning to the world around us.

The workshop then moves outdoors, where participants will encounter three interactive ‘listening stations’ set up on the grounds of Mudam. Each station features specialised microphones that reveal new sonic perspectives: vibrational sensors capture the subtle tremors of earth and architecture, while parabolic devices ‘mirror’ distant sounds, bringing them unexpectedly close.

Blending technology with place, this workshop invites us to reimagine listening as an act woven through body, space and landscape. Participants will experiment with field recordings, discovering how sound reverberates through Mudam’s unique environment.

The collective experience of listening will culminate in a live performance by the artists of Turbulent Rot, held later the same day.
