Yuri Tuma – The Way We Sound: An Exercise on Queer Listening

Registration: https://forms.gle/znXVyMKLcPkwuLtY9
Thinking through the sounds that shape gender norms, which are often deeply entangled with speciesist logics, the concept of “sonic gendering” emerges as a critical tool for contemporary thought.
In an image-saturated culture, attentive listening becomes a queer practice of resistance. By bridging queer ecologies and sound ecologies, we can perceive the world as an interconnected network where boundaries blur between human and nonhuman, natural and cultural, male and female, visible and audible.
In this three-hour workshop (15:00–18:00), we will explore vocal dynamics, interspecies communication, listening scores, and reflective writing exercises to deconstruct how our lived experiences are shaped by the ways we sound.
The workshop is free of charge, and it is part of the Symposium: LISTENING TO POST-NATURE.
