Cona’s Listening Room at the Mladi Levi Festival

News

As part of the 29th Mladi Levi International Festival, the Cona’s Listening Room will be open for two days at ŠD Tabor, offering a space for deep listening, rest and sonic exploration.

Visitors will be able to experience three selected works, each exploring our relationship with the environment, time and the future from a different perspective: a recording of the sound walk The Sandbox by Irena Pivka and Brane Zorman, Brane Zorman’s sound composition The Tree Spirits | Touch, and Chronolith by the Jata C collective.

The works invite us to listen to a world we frequently overlook or hear only as background noise: the rhythms of nature, the memories held by places, slow transformations and the fragile relationships between humans and their environment.

The Listening Room is closely connected to manifest less, the festival programme dedicated to caring for our shared world, coexistence with the more-than-human environment and different ways of imagining the future. It can become the main anchor point of a festival visit or simply a quiet place where headphones offer a temporary retreat from the surrounding bustle and create space for rest and attentive listening.

CONA is a platform for contemporary experimental sound art and acoustic ecology that has been creating spaces for alternative ways of listening to and experiencing the environment for many years.

Monday and Tuesday, 24 and 25 August 2026
10:00–19:00
