NTIZEZA Waves: Sanem's Historical Revelations S1E3 - Progressive Disasters
2024-02-28 20:00 - 21:00 (Europe/Athens)
Sanem’s Historical Revelations is a series of musical lecture-performances, with a live audience.
When did we stop believing that the future might be a nice place? Our immediate ancestors thought that with time, things would get better. Progress was the inevitable and immutable direction of human history, they said.
A quarter into the 21st century, a dystopian future seems to have arrived, which invades our vision and obstructs the imagination. Where was it that we lost sight of other horizons? What happened?
Join Sanem in this third episode of HR, where she narrates, sings, plays the piano, accompanied by Seray Yalçın on the cümbüş.

Home Libraries are the New Black [6]
2024-03-03 14:00 - 16:00 (Europe/Helsinki)
Reading Aloud. Theme: Care. Open online radio session which invites locals to join reading aloud books from the English-language collection, or ‘matching’ or similar content books from own or others’ collections in Swedish or Finnish, or any other language.
What happens when you make public your private library collection, sharing a lifetime of personal book collection in a public space? How can people develop their own collective book library resource, complementing & contrasting, respecting differences as a whole? How to nurture and expand a socialised library? How can home libraries complement municipal libraries and support cultural events? In this case, Andrew Gryf Paterson’s example will be a way to reach out to the local community: Seeking common interests, common (or same) books in Swedish or Finnish that exist, reading aloud sessions, online radio broadcasts, and open bibliographic work. There will also be ongoing vermicomposting with donated old books.
As part of 9.2.–10.3.2024 process in Salon at Kulturhus Björkboda, Kimitoön/Kemiönsaari, SW Finland. More info: https://kubu.fi/project/home-libraries-are-the-new-black/

Spork Sound-Kitchen: Sorrel Soup
2024-04-14 17:00 - 18:00 (Europe/Berlin) | Kitchen Lab Tarvo, Finland
Spork is a sound art duo of Vytautas Bikauskas and Bailey Polkinghorne. They explore relationships between food and sound in communal cooking, serving, and eating. The kitchen soundscape is amplified, extended and translated with sensors, surface microphones, and motorised utensils. For this performance Spork is making and sounding a sorrel soup – a traditional Eastern-European spring and summer dish. Sorrels are often foraged from the local landscape and their sour taste calls for a shared ladle-full.
