WORLD LISTENING DAY - THE UNQUIET EARTH
JULY 18, 4PM-6PM
MARIAN R. BYRNES PARK
2200 E 103 ST
CHICAGO, IL
Resurgence: Slag, Moss, Soil, Air
In collaboration, Norman W. Long and Sara Zalek will lead a guided soundwalk following the recovery of the soundscape of Marian R. Byrnes Park. We begin with Sonic Self-Care by listening, breathing, and gentle movement exercise. Listening Stations along the walk will focus our attention to sounds via hydrophones, contact microphones, and culminate with a live performance.

In 2020 we were forced to pause by an invisible virus. This brought countless consequences to the environment, and to the sonic environment in particular. New acoustic horizons emerged, signaling times of unquietness and global change, and requiring our listening awareness to evolve.
The theme for 2021 “The Unquiet Earth” is an invitation to reflect on and engage with the constant murmur of the Earth, sounds beyond the threshold of human hearing, to remind ourselves that we share this mysterious and awesome planet. Small, hidden, subterranean, aerial, underwater, infra- and ultrasonic sounds, inaudible to the naked ear, can bring a new, potentially hopeful, perspective on the future of the planet and humanity. Listening as activism encourages us to question our attitudes as listeners as we aim to construct a more inclusive and empathetic new world. Join the unquiet revolution!
