The Listening Biennial

The Listening Biennial is a biennial exhibition focusing on listening as a practice and topic. It is centered around a curated selection of participating artists commissioned to produce new audio works guided by particular curatorial concepts and questions. The works are presented across a constellation of partner institutions, spaces and venues located around the world, each of whom are invited to host the Biennial in their unique way. Alongside the exhibition of audio works, public programs of related events are organized, involving local artists, researchers, curators and institutions, creating a range of activity and exchange. Through such an approach, The Listening Biennial works at fostering greater listening cultures, as well as ways of listening across languages, communities and places.
