Sonic Stories

Drawing on major projects presented by Stegi in the recent past, such as “Tuned City” and “Soundscapes / Landscapes,” “Sonic Stories” focuses on how we can interpret our relationship to the world around us through sound. How does sound offers us the potential to understand in new ways? How can we trace the elements of a shared becoming between three iconic Mediterranean cities? How can sound enrich and intensify our relationship to the environment and the threats it faces? How can the intimate narratives of people who are not often heard become vehicles for a sonic empathy that challenges exclusion?

In a world dominated by visual information, sound has an immediacy that cuts through codes and conventions to elicit a visceral reaction from us. But listening can also reveal new clues to us, leading to histories not yet heard, relationships we have not perceived, and voices silenced for too long. “Sonic Stories” brings together three different approaches to sound as a way to renew our sensitivity to the world.
