In the second “Sonic Talk” of the Semester, Florencia Curci and Tatiana Heuman will present their artistic research project “Siestaria”. It revolves around listening as a method for accessing transitional states between sleep and wakefulness, and for reimagining rest and dreaming as ways of resisting the logics of urgency and optimization.

The renowned neuroscientist Wolf Singer will be a guest at the Faculty of Art and Design at the Bauhaus-Universität Weimar on Tuesday, 27 May 2025 at 7 pm.

Radio has been a medium of listening for more than 100 years - worldwide. This is the subject of the six-part podcast “Listening to the World. 100 years of radio art”. On November 22 at 00:05, the first two episodes of the podcast will celebrate their premiere broadcast on Deutschlandfunk Kultur.

The two residency artists of 2024 are showing their work in two exhibitions. Theo Pluto presents three exhibitions with music under the title “The Pedagogy of the Oppressed”. And Hà Thúy Hằng is showing a multi-channel video and sound installation “...vớt một canh cánh chiêm bao...” (...to grab a disquiet of dreams...).

After three years of research, traveling, workshops and events “Listening to the World - 100 Years of Radio” is now coming to an end. But not without being celebrated! Following the successful event days at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt (HKW) in October 2023, which focused on the regions of South America and Southeast Asia, the upcoming program “Listening to the World – 100 years of radio art” - part 2 on October 19, 2024, will spotlight perspectives and practices from Southern Africa and other regions that are geographically, politically, and sonically connected.

We are looking forward to the upcoming semester. Here you find all courses of the Experimental Radio in Wintersemester 2024/25.
