The “Punto de Encuentro” Festival has been organized by the AMEE since 1990. This edition presents a series of workshops, talks and performances, in continuity with the “En Red” 10th Symposium held in 2018 in Medialab-Prado, focused on the subject of voice in poetry, cinema and experimental music.
AC/E supports the participation of Florencia Curci, with a workshop on "Disidencias vocales" and Brandon LaBelle with the workshop "On Sonic Agency".
The development of voice as an artistic research field brings up questions regarding the notion of ‘vocal agency’: a certain politics of voice, vocality and intervocality. This includes discussing and reflecting upon ways of speaking and how different uses and conceptions of voice favor certain political orientations, social classes, or forms of relationships in terms of modes or practices of listening.
Can the body of knowledge acquired through sound art practices, particularly that of the voice as a field of artistic experimentation, prove useful as a starting point to think about, or at least to evoke or attempt to evade, conditions of personal and political crisis? How can the voice articulate what Brandon LaBelle refers to as “emerging forms of resistance”? Raising these questions within the sound art field leads us to adopt ethical and agentive positions and tactics based particular sonic, spatial, verbal, and textual artistic experiences.
@f.kurch presents "Disidencias vocales", a 3-day workshop at @medialabprado Madrid exploring the potentialities of our phonetic apparatus according to notions and uses that undermine domination structures in the discursive field. Which body constructs which voice? Which rhythms construct which vocalities, which bodies, which communication, which community? The workshop does not intend to answer these questions, but instead concentrates on the processes of subjectivation involved, on how the voice moves through and between bodies, defining their surfaces and determining their movements. This is part of the 26 Punto de Encuentro Festival organized by @amee.oficial with the support of @acecultura
The workshop "On Sonic Agency" with #brandonlabelle at @medialabprado Madrid aims to reflect upon acoustics as a framework that, by lending to the shaping of social and spatial environments, greatly impacts onto experiences of belonging and unbelonging. Extending from Jacques Rancière's notion of "the distribution of the sensible", we’ll consider how communities rework "the distribution of the heard" by intervening onto a dominant acoustic. This includes reflecting upon different forms of acoustic practices, from self-organized dance clubs to silent protests conducted against economic injustices to fostering affective economies of domestic life.
