I am happy to announce that my project The Acoustic Continuum recieved the Experimental Grant from Creative Industrie Fonds NL, Stimuleringsfonds. The project asks the question: how can the fusion of archaeocoustics, speculative design, and noise pollution research be conveyed through performative lectures to inspire innovative solutions and create a deeper understanding of these interdisciplinary concepts?

I was invited to give a workshop and lecture performance for Reveries Collective in Brussels, BE for the event Fate of Scitalis. This event takes place on March 13th and mixes performance, lecture, and workshop elements. I will lead the workshop and explore crafting flexible policies in the realm of sound. Over two hours, we'll brainstorm and experiment with vocalizing and sounding adaptive decision-making and policy development inspired by sound's impact on our world. The session will be interactive, drawing from diverse inspirations like policy diagrams, Pauline Oliveros's scores, and Bernhard Leitner's designs. Expect to engage in activities that fine-tune our listening and participatory skills through movement and vocal exercises.
