WHICH LANGUAGE WILL CHOREOGRAPH THE FUTURE OF THE MEDITERRANEAN?

By Highlighting Listening as a language of its own, it becomes an act of resilience and empathy building. The Soundwalk of CURRENT FUTURES  investigates how listening to more-than-human languages and stories actively shapes the protection and (re)generation of threatened marine ecosystems.

The project combines underwater acoustics, ecological data, embodied listening, spiritual ecology and community participation to cultivate ecological literacy grounded in reciprocity and coexistence to tell hidden narratives of the mediterranean sea.

The SOUNDWALK “Current Futures” translates the hidden acoustic world into an embodied experience on land. Developed and spatialized in 4DSOUND with MONOM, and in close collaboration with Montemero, it weaves underwater field recordings, evidence of acoustic pollution such as bottom trawling, and sonified ecological data from surviving individuals of dying species such as Pina Nobilis;  into a spatial, embodied composition. 

By listening with all our senses, participants attune their bodies to marine rhythms and more-than-human “ears”, transforming scientific knowledge into a lived, sensory understanding.

this project has come to life in close collaboration with the living laboratory Montemero - founded by biologist Emily Pappa and marine survey specialist Pino Ramon Paul Brenner - the sound artist Hamish Logan and the embodied researcher and choreographer Julia Flux, with support of the spanish marine NGO Ambiente Europeo.
