Collective Musicking

Part of C-Change Conference

In the Making: Holding the Uncertain as We Dream and Tend 

In this workshop, participants will explore how musicking—engaging with music in participatory and relational ways—can help us hold space for discomfort and practice unthought modes of collectivity. Drawing on sonic and visual excerpts from an August 2022 artist residency and performances with the collective Landscape of Hate, we will reflect on how making music together can open possibilities for experiencing time differently, feeling discomfort collectively, and imagining future action.

We will then revisit the residency’s theme—hope/less horizons and horizon/less hopes—through collective sound-making exercises that invite sensing, listening, and imagining otherwise, together.

How can you participate? Join us in person by registering here or online by registering for the Zoom Meeting.
