Immigrant Sounds was a participatory exploration of the urban space proposed by María Andueza and Abelardo Gil-Fournier throughout concepts such as presence, permanence, displacement or settlement. During the performance the participants freely moved in a particular area of the city of Stockholm while carrying a small electronic device that broadcasted a cicada-like sound, characteristic of the sonic environment of southern countries. A set of ideas and questions were provided to each participant in order to stimulate his/her specific exploration of the urban social environment.
Immigrant Sounds was part of Re(s)on-Art, an International Artistic Research Event with actions in Public Space held in Stockholm between September 9-12, 2014 at ArkDes, Skeppsholmen and throughout Stockholm. Re(s)on-Art was organized by Monica Sand and Ricardo Atienza, artists and researchers in ArkDes, the museum of Architecture and Design of Stockholm.
Re(son)-Art – the art of resonating with/in/through the city – intends to explore everyday situations in public space and encourage daily urban awareness by collective actions. A number of interventions will be arranged in Stockholm by the conference participants, based on their research and artistic practice. Everyone is most welcome to participate actively in all events of Re(s)on-Art!
