Sonic Tactics

2-day Happening: Installation, Performances, Readings/Listening sessions, Screening, DJ-set — 2024

The first iteration of Sonic Tactics gathered artists and performers around the tactical use of sonic expression — an oxidized reading, active listening to field recordings, speculative narratives, and live sonic experimentation. The Happening approached sound as a way of being and a practice of gathering, reflecting on the collective’s shared work and the tactics required to sustain it.
