In the “BAUHAUS.LISTENING.WORKSHOPS” the various questions of listening and hearing in its diversity and transcultural interconnections are being explored in an artistic-performative process. How has radio influenced listening over the last 100 years? What listening practices and methods have different cultures developed? How does radio relate to power structures and colonial history?

From Bolivia in 1897 and the first established telecommunications to the nowadays community radios of the vibrant scene of Latin America; radio points out configurations of powers and resistances. This allows us to trace narratives throughout the political, social and cultural development of the region.

This project aims to create a space that allows participants from different places to share their experiences, challenges and tools for cooperative management. We would like to address the question of the responsibility for the cultural technique of listening and to develop new models for the acoustic media of the future. The Bauhaus.Listening.Workshops are part of the “Listening to the World — 100 Jahre Radio”, a project of excellence by the Goethe- Institut and co-funded through the project Neues Europäisches Bauhaus of Bauhaus-Universität Weimar in collaboration with Deutschlandfunk Kultur and Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW).
