Members of the international sound art collective Ultra-red will facilitate a listening session for community members, activists, artists, students, and the general public. The session will feature a series of short soundscape/electroacoustic compositions based on street life and activism in London and Los Angeles. The compositions are made from field recordings related to political struggles in Los Angeles in London. A theme of the session is an investigation into how urban residents listen critically to the contradictions of the neoliberal city, which proliferates displacement, social cleansing, and criminalization of the poor. This session invites the audience into the themes of active listening. Ultra-red will share with participants how the collective has used the recordings in our own political contexts, followed by an open dialogue with the audience.
