How can art, and especially sound art, affect people’s experience of the climate crisis? What happens to us when we listen to the sounds in the earth of small animals and fungi’s electrical signals – or the mechanical noise of industrial agriculture? And how can this influence our cultural experience of nature and ourselves in a world marked by the climate crisis?

On April 23, MA in rhetoric Mathias Schønberg will present his thesis, which involved fieldwork at the sound art festival Time to Listen – The Ecological Crisis in Sound and Music. The fieldwork was part of the NEUSTART collaborative project between Art Music Denmark, JazzDanmark, Tempi, ROSA and MXD, which Mathias Schønberg managed until its conclusion earlier this year. At the event, Mathias Schønberg will provide his insights on how to literally account for the significance of culture and art in society.

After the presentation, i’ll be possible to ask questions. Art Music Denmark offers a glass of beer or a cup of coffee to all attendees.

Mathias Schønberg’s white paper on the artistic think tank Unrelated Narrations, together with who he participated at Time to Listen, can be accessed on Art Music Denmark’s website.

Unrelated Narrations was a NEUSTART project supported by Art Music Denmark. NEUSTART was funded by the Danish Arts Foundation, the Ministry of Culture and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

The event is free, but registration is required. Register here.
