Decolonial Listening and the Politics of Sound:  Water, Breathing and Urban Unconscious

Rodrigo Toro and Donovan Hernández Castellanos

About this exposition

This essay is based in the urgency of questioning the coloniality of being and power (Quijano, 2014), present in the hegemonic aural regime. It is based on two pieces: Wet Season / Dry Season (2021), a sound installation by the collective of Cuban visual artists Celia-Yunior that was presented at the Jakarta Biennial, Indonesia; and Breathe (2020), an interdisciplinary piece combining dance, literature, sound and video.
