The research cluster THE ART OF RESONANCE (KASK & Conservatory Gent) is organising a series of informal listening sessions with international artists and researchers, with an eye (and ear) to cultivating a sonic sensibility and relationality.

Irene Revell and Sarah Shin are both curators, writers, editors and researchers who work with artists across sound, text, performance and moving image. In 2022 Irene completed her practice-based doctoral thesis, Live Materials: ‘Womens Work’, Pauline Oliveros and the Feminist Performance Score, with a focus on the curatorial challenges posed by text instruction scores and related live ephemera. She is currently developing a long-term project that attends to artists working with text/instruction/scores in areas that span queer-feminist and decolonial listening, disability justice and expanded forms of practice that might be termed “score-thinking”. Sarah co-founded Silver Press in 2017, and the experimental platform Ignota a year later, after a decade at Verso. Dedicated to collaboration, Shin is also a founder of Standard Deviation, a collective exploring the coincidence of psychic, geometric and inhabited spaces, and New Suns, a curation and storytelling project from feminist perspectives and practices. In 2024 they launched the anthology book project Bodies of Sound: Becoming a feminist ear, which offers a resonant exploration of feminist sonic cultures and radical listening. Bodies of Sound will be presented the day after, 28 November, at Rile Books in Brussels.
This event is supported by the Doctoral School for Humanities and Social Sciences, KU Leuven, and LUCA School of Arts, in collaboration with VUB and the research cluster The Art of Resonance (KASK School of Arts). It is made possible through OJO funding, with the support of the Flemish Government.
