Mekhitar Garabedian, Garine Gokceyan, “Auditive Voyeurism”, storytelling in dialogue
8 November 2024, 19:00
BERLIN, STURM AND SLANG, UPCOMING
“Auditive voyersim” proposes we turn our attention to the emotional impact of languages’ acoustic and visual manifestations in our everyday lives and shared experiences. Languages do not only communicate information. They also carry cultural and historical weight, conveying a particular social unconscious, different cultural attachments, and emotional connotations. The workshop will create a framework for addressing our personal experiences with different languages and attempt to collectively explore the limits of lingual stereotypes, our understanding of language's power dynamics as well as the unconscious sources of our emotional responses to it.
