Our programme includes keynotes, panel sessions, and listening sessions that aim to foster meaningful dialogue and exchange.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Themes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One of the central themes we will address is the dialogue between established organisations and grassroots curatorial initiatives. Specifically, we will examine:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Institutional vs. Grassroots Approaches:<\/strong> The dynamics between established organisations, which aim to incorporate diversity within a structured, often institutionalised framework, and grassroots initiatives that operate with greater flexibility and innovation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Inside vs. Outside:<\/strong> What does it mean to be \u2018inside\u2019 or \u2018outside\u2019 a specific framework? How do different positionalities influence the approach to curating diversity?<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Top-Down vs. Bottom-Up structures:<\/strong> How do top-down and bottom-up approaches to curating diversity differ? What can these different structures learn from each other to foster more inclusive practices?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We believe that the exchange of ideas and experiences between these different perspectives will provide valuable insights and help shape the future of curatorial practices in new music and sound-art.\u00a0<strong>Elsa M\u2019bala, Claudia Molitor, meL\u00ea yamomo<\/strong>,\u00a0<strong>Irene Revell<\/strong> and <strong>Luc Mishalle<\/strong>\u00a0are among the artists and speakers lined up for the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Schedule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Saturday 19 October 2024, 2:00 \u2013 5:00 pm (Pelt)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>You are welcome to explore sound installations that are part of OORtreders in the morning<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2:00 pm: Welcome<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">2:15 pm: Keynote 1 (Luc Mishalle)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3:00 pm: Coffee break<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3:30 pm: Long-table 1 \u201cInstitutional vs Grassroots Approaches\u201d: The dynamics between established organisations and grassroots initiatives<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">4:15 pm: Listening Session 1 (Elsa M\u2019bala)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Symposium Dinner<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evening: OORtreders (see <a href=\"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/activities\/oortreders-festival-2024\/\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/activities\/oortreders-festival-2024\/\">programme<\/a>, including Sounds Now open space <a href=\"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/performances\/participatory-project-across-the-distance\/\">Across the Distance<\/a> \u2013 Korpus Quartet &amp; amateur horn players)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11:00 pm: Transfer Pelt-Leuven<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sunday 20 October 2024, 10:30 am \u2013 4:00 pm (Leuven)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10:30 am: Welcome<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">10:45 am: Keynote 2 (meL\u00ea yamomo &amp; Irene Revell)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">11:30 am: Long-table 2 \u201cInside-Outside\u201d: What does it mean to be \u2018inside\u2019 or \u2018outside\u2019 a specific framework?

It is a film essay woven together through a series of interviews, filmed throughout Europe, at some of its most important contemporary music festivals. The film is a reflection on the ethics and critical questions of participatory projects, how to curate diversity, what is meant by inclusivity and how to have greater transparency about who is programmed on stage and why. More than anything, the film is a celebration of the work, voices and minds that made Sounds Now possible.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">1:45 pm: Listening Session 2 (Claudia Molitor)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3:00 pm: Coffee break <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">3:30 pm: Concluding remarks<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Evening: Transit (see <a href=\"https:\/\/www.festival2021.be\/en\/programme?transit=1&amp;periode=\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">programme<\/a>, including Sounds Now production <a href=\"https:\/\/www.festival2021.be\/en\/2024\/i-solisti-spectra-saariaho-van-parys-venegas-jacobs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">I Solisti &amp; Spectra<\/a>)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Transportation will be provided between the two locations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Registration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To register for this event, or if you have any questions, please email us at: <a href=\"mailto:symposium.soundsnow@gmail.com\">symposium.soundsnow@gmail.com<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3382,"template":"","work_area":[22],"class_list":["post-3380","activity","type-activity","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","work_area-nomad-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/3380","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/activity"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/3380\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3394,"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/activity\/3380\/revisions\/3394"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3382"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3380"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"work_area","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/archief.musica.be\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/work_area?post=3380"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
