In Search of a Multi_dimensional Life: Decolonization of Presence
The text was developed for the Sound Walk City · prelude festival and focuses on the sound walk as an artistic practice that resists the spectacularisation of art. The author approaches the sound walk as a form that opens space for unpredictability, chance, and embodied experience, enabling a slower engagement with everyday rhythms.
The reflection addresses relationships between the inner and outer, embodied listening, and shifts from monological to dialogical forms as potential platforms for inclusivity and ethics. The text also problematises narratives of progress, consumption, and self-referentiality in contemporary urban space.
