LEARNING TO LISTEN #1 | English

with DANIELLE ALMEIDA moderated by MAX JORGE HINDERER CRUZ Danielle
Almeida is a singer, educator, and researcher. For her project
Diaspórica she has spent over sixteen years researching Afro-Latin
American female singers who have been written out of history or
forgotten and their song forms – the result is an extraordinary
repertoire of songs. In her audio essay she will interpret a
selection of these songs, interweaving recorded live performances
with the biographies of the singers and reflections on the racist
and sexist mechanisms implicit in the hegemonic narratives of
cultural history. 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 | Portuguese Available at Apple
