Δ WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS

"Hearing the sound of silence”
With Martin Brüger (meditation trainer and artist)

Sound and silence aren’t just opposites, they are the two indivisible extremes of hearing, because silence can only be experienced via sound and vice versa. In this guided meditative workshop connected with the exhibition “SOUND SOURCES. Everything Is Music”, we will find out about various meditative exercises that sharpen our sense of hearing and let us develop an awareness of hearing as a process that ultimately takes place in our consciousness rather than in our ears. The exercises presented here will offer the participants a whole new dimension of experience that extends from meditatively listening to self-made and external sounds through to chilling in the power of audio silence. And sound, of course, is also a means of communication: after a phase of meditative sensitisation to sound and silence we will round off the evening with a communal sound/silence performance. Nobody needs musical skills for this workshop; it is much more about being open to insights about hearing processes, and being eager to find out about a more sensitive perception of ourselves and our surroundings.

No prior experience required
Workshop attendance: 6 euros plus the cost of admission to the exhibition.

Δ WORKSHOP FOR ADULTS

“Soundwalking”

with Antonia A. V. Beeskow (artist, sound designer and performer)

The participants of this workshop will leave the exhibition and go out into the city, where they will be taken on an auditory tour through Frankfurt accompanied by the sounds of their surroundings and pre-produced soundtracks. This audio walk, lasting approximately 90 minutes, portrays the concept of a soundscape as a journey through space and time and alludes to the elements of everyday life at an auditory level. The group will come together once more at the end and discuss what they have just experienced. What does it sound like along the River Main in summer and in winter? How do we listen to our surroundings when wearing headphones, or when simply using our ears? What do we hear – and what don’t we hear?

Place on workshop: €6. Please book in advance.
Meet at: Weltkulturen Museum, Schaumainkai 29
