SCHOOL OF ECHOES
Glasgow Sessions
What is the sound of community organising?
International sound art collective Ultra-red launch School Of Echoes Scotland this autumn with a five-session workshop scheduled to take place in Glasgow on five week-end days in October and November. The practice-based workshop on community organising and sound art is open to artists, social movement activists, community organisers, and students.
Description: For fifteen years Ultra-red has used sound to investigate anti-racist organising, the struggles of migration, social housing mobilisation, and AIDS activism. This history informs the approach to sound art that will be presented in the Glasgow Sessions. Drawing on the experiences and commitments of workshop participants, the Glasgow Sessions will examine the practice of community organising through collaborative learning where sound and listening are means for producing collective reflection and action. Workshop activities include walking tours of the city; making site-specific audio recordings; analytical listening to recorded sounds; generating new strategies for collective action; and investigations into the crucial concepts of political process, participation, and political action.
Ultra-red will select fifteen participants for the Glasgow Sessions through an application process. We are seeking participants committed to expanding their practice in art and/or community organising, social movement activism, or radical research. Individuals do not need to be artists or musicians to be eligible to participate. Students are welcome to apply but must be 16 years or older. We are particularly keen to work with people who are 25 or under, students are welcome to apply but must be 16 years or older. Given the cumulative nature of the workshop, it is essential that participants commit to attending all five sessions. Equipment, materials, travel stipend, and meals will be provided.
