Irazema H. Vera
Sound artist and musicologist, sound engineer and music producer. My artistic practice is deeply rooted in the relationships and connections between the territory and its communities through memory, music and listening; and how these face the environmental crisis and challenge hegemonic discourses.
I develop soundscapes from auralities through recordings in territory, testimonies and traditions, and the interaction between them; to later complement them with approaches to cartographies that propose a look at these connections and relationships as a call for climate justice.
Displacements
by Irazema H. VeraEvery week and month and day we move. Routine movements or new detours and horizons.
observe some of these movements during this week
observe by listening and not vision.
“design” a walking/sound movement.
The exercise can be a drawing, a poem, a writing exercise or notes that result from listening.
Maybe a playlist you create to connect with the places you see.
Where would you stop to listen a little more? How does it make you feel?
Is there music? Noises? Other beings? What emotions do you feel and hear?
How do our environments accompany our movements?
