For this edition we ask you to be present with your political ears, to feel with us what it means to have a voice that is (not) heard, to notice which voices are not present in the room, to desire together social transformations, to listen to less heard histories, to pinch our autonomous bubbles, to be touched by sound waves and connect with them consciously.

We are moved to invite you to our 3rd Extratonal Special: sound is political. For this edition we ask you to be present with your political ears, to feel with us what it means to have a voice that is (not) heard, to notice which voices are not present in the room, to desire together social transformations, to listen to less heard histories, to pinch our autonomous bubbles, to be touched by sound waves and connect with them consciously. This journey is going to be led by our very special line up:
Luca Soucant will perform the lecture-performance 'The Resonance of Gender: Thinking through a Feedbacking Scold’s Bridle.'Luca studies the relationship between sound, gender, power, and social structures within the entanglement of the human and non-human.
YoKolina is an interdisciplinary fashion designer whose artistic practice involves stage clothes, performance, and music. For Extratonal, she will bring to life her moth costume, embodying an insect that deals with existence.
Natalia Roa is a writer, editor and interdisciplinary artist. Together with Colombian percussionist Luis Orobio, she will weave a tapestry of sound, rhythm, and storytelling around the concept of ashé, which are narratives and soundscapes of Abya Yala that offer an alternative present to a growing dismemory. From a sonic legacy, ashé signifies permanence: the constant gaze for and at the instruments, the bodies, and the tunes with which enslaved people declared their emancipation, blending ritual with celebration, we remember.
This event is made possible with the kind support of Popunie Rotterdam, Stichting Volkskracht, Fonds Podiumkunsten, Gemeente Rotterdam and Stimuleringsfonds Creatieve Industrie.
