Sonic Interventions & Storytelling for Liveable Urban Spaces

SOUNDING CITY SUMMER SCHOOL 


The Sounding City Summer School is offered in partnership with Struer Sound Art Lab and Struer City of Sounds. Focus will be on how residents in urban quarters and urban wilding environments may interact with and through soundscapes and sonic interventions. Further, summer school participants may bring the understanding of these audiences and users into the conceptualisation, development and production of digital and analogue sound pieces and stories for urban development and everyday urban life.
In that sense, the summer school will cover aspects of sound studies and urban studies and how these fields connect and engage citizens, also with more-than-human actors in the urban environment. Additionally, it  introduces participatory audience engagement, and how public space can be a place for democratising processes.
The two partner organisations, Struer Sound Art Lab and Struer City of Sounds, are part of the Struer municipal strategies for enhancing sound environments and sound art as part of city planning and development, and both organisations supported by cultural institutions in Struer as the local art council, specialised in sound art, and by Sound Hub DK and Bang & Olufsen.
