Episode Synopsis
performingbordersRadio: THREE LISTENING RITUALS IN SONIC MIGRATIONS | TRES RITUALES DE ESCUCHA EN MIGRACIONES SÓNICAS - by Ximena Alarcón-Díaz
Join us for performingborder’s first radio show of 2023! For the next few months we’ll be exploring the entanglement between Live Art and notions and lived experiences of intersectional and transnational borders, bi-monthly on Montez Press Radio. We are taking to the radio to share our collaborative, sound-based performance work created with and by artists in our network. We hope you enjoy it.
We open this series with three listening rituals by Ximena Alarcón-Díaz, which were originally commissioned for performingborders’ annual e-Journal #2: Rallying the Commons, published 14th December 2022. The pieces are offered as a trilogy of rituals to connect your body to the dream world, to childhood memories of curiosity about nature, and to other beings that are more than human. Through the rituals we hope to explore sonic migration, deep listening, and strengthen our individual and collective sense of agency.
In this re-release of the rituals, we tell you more about this new radio series and hear more from Ximena about the rituals and her practice after the creation of the work.
The rituals mix Spanish and English but welcome listeners in all languages. There are transcriptions freely available in the e-journal, through which you can also revisit the rituals.
