Human Cartography - Rio de Janeiro - Edmeire Exaltação - English version

Listening with headphones https://www.blindsignalberlin.com/english-version Edmeire Exaltação - Wednesday, May 4th 2022 16:00 - Rua dos Invalidos - Lapa, Rio de Janeiro "The historical sounds remain Resonating in many places in the form of a complaint." "All this architecture that is kept as a witness it depends on how you look at it many see it as a testimony that has been beneficial for a part of the population, yes, but for others It is a denunciation of the cruelty of our history These sounds keep echoing, through these walls, the streets, the architecture In a space like this one here in the centre. "This kind of cart is common here in the centre it's called the no-tail it's a very colonial view Of a poor man who has to carry the weight to survive And to get a little less money it is a sound that remains, echoing the unequal history..." We cross a Vila (place where slaves were locked up before being sold) which is located next to 122 dos Invalidos Street. We hear the invisible. Edmeire speaks to us, we listen. We go out, Rua dos Invalidos. The street in 2022, the metal door slamming behind, the acquaintances in front. We walk towards the Santo Antônio dos Pobres parish, one of the few that helped the enslaved, a symbol. A short walk, only one two-lane street to cross. A walk that makes us listen to history. Co-founder and general coordinator of Casa das Pretas, Rio de Janeiro. Edmeire is a researcher-activist in the field of gender, sexualities, racism, race relations and afro-feminism. https://casadaspretasrj.org

The second edition to the two part series: Blind Signal Germany - Vietnam, nine solo musicians, composers and multimedia artists created new pieces engaging the acoustic specificities of the Kleiner Wasserspeicher, in Berlin. Blind Signal GRMN - VTNM aims to investigate the diversities and wide range of sonic practice through collaborative creations across multiple geographies. AGF poemproducer aka Antye Greie, Audrey Chen, Hương DonNa, Els Vandeweyer, Erik K Skodvin, Lương Huệ Trinh, Julius Holtz, LinhHàfornow and Sabine Ercklentz were invited for five days of collective work, willing to create a common ground in the exploration of sonic arts, promoting immersive group listening experiences fully stimulate by noise, silence, frequency, transmission, performativities of media objects, resonance and acoustics, while remaining sensitive to the individual complexities and poetics of each identities. Following three days of research in the Kleiner Wasserspeicher Berlin (water reservoir), the musicians and composers offered solo live acts and several sound pieces that have been presented in the premises at the Kleiner Wasserspeicher on Friday 20 & Saturday 21 of September, 2019. The project was presented by der Monat der zeitgenössischen Musik.
