Planetary Listening is a collective of artists and researchers focusing on listening and human and more-than-human entanglements.
Formed in 2021, our activities consist of holding study sessions on pertinent topics, organising small-scale workshops with invited guests, and creating a public program at indoor and outdoor sites across Berlin.
Our current program, under the title Swamps and Stars, consists of four event modules (one per season) bringing together artists, scientists, storytellers and musicians to explore listening and planetarity.
What might it mean to listen beyond the human? Is it possible to reorient our sensing, and understanding of voice, to extend more boldly toward other life forms? Can artistic practices and performance open pathways of co-existence and trans-species collaboration so as to nurture biodiverse sustainability and worlding? Bringing together artists, musicians, ecologists,and educators to create and perform, nurture and grow innovative approaches to ecological interconnectivity, the project aims at sounding out new forms of planetary practice.
