Discover the sound programme in collaboration with Radio Grenouille from the 29th of August until the 9th of October 2020, part of the public programme of Traits d’union.s.

For this second Listening Session, Radio Grenouille and Samia Henni are designing a moment of collective listening based on the sonic aspects of the Mediterranean: underwater sounds, urban spaces, languages and collective histories of the Mare Nostrum’s population.

The work of Samia Henni, born in 1980 in Algiers, focusses on the historical intersections of town planning, colonial practices and military operations, from the beginning of the 19th century to the present day. She thus reveals the macro-histories of colonialism, imperialism and globalisation.

Part of the public programme and in collaboration with Radio Grenouille, the Listening Sessions feature sound performances that will take place at different venues during the biennial. Two of them also include an artist residency. Radio Grenouille has conceived collective listening experiences that introduce the audience to the principles of listening. Collective listening places sound at the centre of a social moment, reactivating and sharing speech.
