The Sound Lab for Fluid Ways of Knowing brings together artists working with sound and language, living in Ghana and Germany, in a process of artistic research on methods of fluidity, orality, non-duality, process and improvisation. The Sound Lab will run for the entire week of the Brecht Festival, from February 10 to 17. Through workshops and other interventions, the artists will repeatedly provide public insights into their processes and works. The Lab will conclude its phase in Augsburg with a concert on February 17 and then continue in Accra in the spring. With "Ways of Knowing", the Sound Lab refers to practice-based, physical, orally transmitted, traditional knowledge acquired in lived experience (of the working class, in the global South, in gender transition or migration, etc.). It refers to the artists' sonic and linguistic practices as well as insights into their own location in social structures and their ability to act within them.
The Sound Lab is a collaboration between Okhiogbe Omonblanks Omonhinmin (TAC Org) and Andrea Goetzke (all2gethernow e.V.) and the Brechtfestival. Supported by the TURN2 fund of the German Federal Cultural Foundation. Funded by the Federal Government Commissioner for Culture and the Media.
