The Listening Biennial draws attention to listening as a relational capacity, a philosophical and political proposition, a creative practice, and research framework. It brings together an international constellation of participating artists, musicians, curators and researchers, as well as institutions and collectives across the globe, to foster questions and experiences of listening.
The Listening Biennial is conceived as a global project and aims at a decentralised structure where shared resonances and polyvocal manifestations can emerge across localities.
The first edition was launched in 2021 and included the participation of thirty international artists presented at fourteen partner organisations, venues and collectives. This was followed in 2023, with the second edition of the Biennial being held at over twenty-two partner locations.
