The Listening Academy is an independent research academy focusing on listening as a philosophical, artistic, social and somatic issue. This entails a relation to performative, sonic, and ecological practices, sensing and sound studies, community organizing, and experimental pedagogy. The Academy offers a generative and nurturing framework for researchers and practitioners to engage in collaborative exchange, as well as workshopping new methodologies and knowledge practices. This includes bringing together individual approaches and work, and creating opportunities for material exploration and building new collaborations.
