Sound Art and the Experience of Deafness: Hearing as a Physical Experience

Educational workshop for deaf or hard of hearing persons.

Accessible to the participants through interpretation in Greek Sign Language.

This new series of educational activities aims at laying the groundwork for expanding the boundaries of hearing and turning it from a listening experience into a physical one. These educational workshops are aimed at deaf and hard of hearing persons, as well as at those who are part of the deaf community in other ways. The programme’s main educational goals are to reverse the condition of standardized exclusion, to introduce participants into the world of music and sound art, and to create collaborative sound works through collaborative planning and workshop practices. The materials of this venture are vibration, visualization of sound, art history, music theory, and other contemporary technological possibilities. The educational workshops cycle will come complete with a sound work, designed by all the members of the group together.

The workshops are self-contained and participants can join the ones of their choice.

Participation does not require any prior relevant knowledge.
