    Aleyda Rocha is an artist and researcher. She was born and raised in Mexico, based in Barcelona. She thinks about sound and movement as a philosophical toolset to reflect on unuttered histories and unearthed linkages as a poetic means to document our personal, ecological, and internal struggles. Her work has been presented at Ars Electronica Festival (2020, 2021); National Library of Norway (2020); Sound Territories Festival (2020); Harvard Metalab (2021); Cambridge Festival(2021); RightsCon (2021) among others. Currently, she is an affiliate at the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

    This year’s discourse program is happening online, although we wish to have everyone together in Berlin, we are thankful for the mere possibility to be together despite borders and let us sync across time zones. Especially, for this year’s theme where we explore non/westernized, non-strictly theoretical framed experiences of sound.

    Today we are inviting you all to think about sound. Not as an intervention nor a thing to solve, but to listen and conciliate, what it is to be witnessed and a witness on our own terms.

    For To be in listening: the worlds from the in-between, we want to recognize the particular twang of each listener -even if they are the same movements-, and each person imprints a particular stamp so that the sound bathes in subtly different ways.  Our way of breathing and taking in the world are different thus affecting all of our senses, and what is in between

    La diferencia entre el respirar y el ver, tocar o escuchar, es que no puedes ni mirar, tocar y escuchar si no respiras. O sea, la existencia es la respiración, los sentidos entran en acción si se respira. Lo triste radica que se habla de lo que se ve, y se oculta el respirar.

    We are joined by a talented multi-hyphenated group of artists, researchers, journalists, and educators that move with and around sound in their practice. They were invited to share with us not only this space of conversation, but also an essay whose work juxtaposes and reflect on the encounter between their personal, and political processes and the sounds we are constantly immersed in.

    We assembled the texts as experiences that lead to different pathways of sound, an opening of gestures, intrigued by the possibility that it suggests alternative ways of living sound. This work is now available on our platform https://radicalsoundslatinamerica.com/new/[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/6″][/vc_column][/vc_row][/vc_section]

We do this by working with various Berlin venues and the larger music community.

    The festival seeks to radically welcome everyone we work with, and has zero tolerance for any kind of discrimination, harmful behaviours or harassment. With the willingness to listen, learn, and nurture care and resilience amidst uncertainty, the festival consciously unsettles our notions of borders and seeks to strengthen transnational communities through kinship, friendship, accessibility, and movements of collective imagination.

    **Below you will find information about entrance and accessibility to our venues, as well as our zero tolerance policy regarding any form of discrimination.**
