What is the sound of community organising? Leading international sound art collective Ultra-red launch the Dundee Sessions of School Of Echoes. For over 15 years, Ultra-red have been at the forefront of developing ways in which the tools of sound art and those of community organising can cross fertilize. The School of Echoes Project, initiated at the beginning of this year, focuses specifically on issues of radical education and sound art in relation to social struggle. Ultra-red are visiting Dundee at the invitation of sound art organizations Arika and Sound & Music, Duncan of Jordanstone and DCA, in order to meet and share ideas with local artists, community organisers,activists, students, education and art workers. In order to establish the best ways for us to work together, and to think through how best Ultra-red can both share information and learn from local organizing, you are invited to a short informal seminar, where Ultra-red will share reflections on their own work, and can learn from you about yours. Ultra-red have used sound-based procedures to investigate anti-racist organising, the struggles of migration, social housing mobilisation, and AIDS activism. Their interest is to understand the contribution sound and listening can make to organizing around these and other concerns. The Dundee Sessions will explore procedures for collective listing, reflection and organizing drawn from the collective’s almost two decades of enquiries. Workshop activities could include walking tours of the city, making site-specific audio recordings, analytical listening to recorded sounds, generating new strategies for collective action, and investigations into the crucial concepts of collective process, participation, and political action. Please come along and join us for an informal chat: Monday 7 December: 6-8pm Meeting Room, DCA 152 Nethergate, Dundee, DD1 4DY, 01382 909 900 The event is free to attend and there is no need to book - all are welcome.
