Sounding Difference @ RE SOUND Media Art Histories Conference, August 19-23 2019.
Sounding Difference is an academic track organized by Gabriela Aceves Sepúlveda and Freya Zinovieff. It is part of an ongoing research project that explores how axes of differences can be illuminated through practices of sound and listening. It brings together Aceves Sepúlveda’s interests in crafting alternative historical narratives that make audible the voices and practices of women artists who have been excluded from the canon of media arts; and Zinovieff’s explorations on the intersections on the agential potential of sound in bringing awareness to the unequal power relations at play in borderlands and the silencing of the voice of the non-human other in bordered spaces.
