LEARNING TO LISTEN #2 | French

with CHIMURENGA (NTONE EDJABE) moderated by MAX JORGE HINDERER CRUZ
Ntone Edjabe is a DJ, curator, and journalist. In 2002 he founded
the cultural platform Chimurenga, which includes the magazine The
Chronic, the online Chimurenga Library, the Pan African Market in
Cape Town, and the radio project Pan African Space Station. In his
sound collages, Edjabe interrogates the audible as well as our
understanding of music and audio consumption and the conditions
governing it. Learning to Listen is a podcast format that explores
different forms of listening – both listening and not listening –
and the knowledge that can be drawn from them. The focus is on
learning and unlearning to listen and engaging with internalized
mindsets. The main aim of Learning to Listen is to initiate
didactic processes intended to help us understand why certain
sounds, songs, and narratives are heard and others are not, and to
interweave auditory events with anti/decolonial education. The
individual episodes are conceived as heterogeneous audio essays;
the invited guests have free rein over their concept and
realization. Language: English | French Available at Apple
