Lydgalleriet co-hosts The Listening Biennial 2023. Curated by Dayang Yraola, Guely Morato Luísa Santos and Rayya Badran.
The Listening Biennial 2023 is envisaged as an ecology of attention, shaped by a critical concern for exclusion and extraction, inviting a shift from paying attention to giving attention. This includes poetic sensing, where methods of engagement are enhanced by the power of the imagination.
As an exhibition and program of events, The Listening Biennial 2023 is facilitated through a network of participating institutions, spaces and collectives, each of which support the presentation of the Biennial across a range of sites.
