Anna Papaeti
Anna Papaeti (PhD, King’s College, London) is Research Associate Professor at the University of Cyprus and Principle Investigator of the ERC Consolidator Grant Soundscapes of Trauma: Music, Sound, and the Ethics of Witnessing (MUTE). She writes about opera, the nexus of music, sound and trauma, and the intersections of politics, ethics, and aesthetics. She held two Marie Skłodowska Curie Fellowships at the University of Goettingen (FP7, 2011–2014) and at Panteion University, Athens (2017–2019, Horizon 2020) respectively. Her research has been supported by the European Commission, Onassis Foundation, Research Centre for the Humanities, and DAAD (UK). She has published widely in collected volumes and scholarly journals, and has co-edited two special issues on music in detention. She is also a research-based-art practitioner, working in sound and textual forms. She created the podcast The Undoing of Music for Museo Nacional Reina Sofía (Madrid, 2019), as well as the installations The Dark Side of the Tune for the exhibition ‘Hypnos’ at Onassis Stegi (Athens, 2016) and Néos Parthenónas for the exhibition ‘Iasis’ (Loutraki, 2019), both created with Nektarios Pappas.
