Workshop
When:
12:30 PM, Saturday 10 May 2025 (1 hour 30 minutes)
Theme:
In-person
Organizer: Elee Kraljii Gardiner ∆ and Eduardo Abrantes ∆ (Roskilde University and Medical Museion Copenhagen; Poet Laureate of Vancouver)

In this participatory workshop, we invite people to create a soundtrack to a video based on “Changed and Changing”, an ecopoem about decay through exposure to natural processes by Elee Kraljii Gardiner. Part of an ongoing collaboration begun in Berlin in 2024 between the author and sound artist Eduardo Abrantes, this investigation explores the potential of performative sound poetry. In this iteration we practice synching audio track to the visual field to suggest and create new possibilities for weathering the climate crisis. The black box environment will become a soundtrack recording studio. Video will be screened with only partial sounds. Next, the audience will have a couple takes to record their overlapping soundtrack to it. The terms of collective ownership will be discussed on site as will the notion of “synching” and “being in flow” during the Anthropocene. Using the collective production of sounds and images, as well as considering bodies in shared space, the creation of this piece proposes a radical sensing “with” the environment and people, creating an artistic ecology in real time.
