Open Class “Infinite listening”, by Mário Azevedo

FPCEUP | Room 254

On 9 April 2025, at 6 pm, an OPEN CLASS by Mário Azevedo, entitled 'Infinite Listening', will take place at FPCEUP.

This OPEN CLASS is a reflection on the presence of sound and art in human listening. From here on in, we expose an agonism in the face of the monumentality of what has already been apprehended, capable of engendering an aesthetic literacy of otherness in contemporary times. This is a craft aimed at the freedom of humans, projecting sounds into a now-future and provoking unfoldings of thought in the face of the tragic condition of our lives, not shirking exercises in collective self-responsibility. Therefore, from our listening condition, we now create a moment of dialogue about what we are, as cartographers of the living sound of the past, present and future. If sound is a monad full of possibilities and utopias, are we capable of looking after this real and sonorous presence-absence among us? This is the question we'll be mapping out in this open class.

 

The CLASS is part of the Seminar Cycle 'Contemporary Artistic Practices in Education' organised by the Contemporary Issues in Artistic Education curricular unit of the MCED 2024/2025 study plan - Field of Study in Artistic Education.

Admission is free.
