Event Details

“In Place: The Ecologies of Sound in the Southwest” will feature Nev-Diaz, a new media artist who blends photography, programming languages, video, and sound, to create unique viewer experiences focusing on themes of memory, trauma, nature, and curated spaces; and sound and video artist, storyteller, and educator Dylan McLaughlin whose multi-media installations explores sites of extraction, and forms of witness and implication, engaging the poetics and politics of landscape formation and human affect. They will speak with Dr. Steven Feld, anthropologist, filmmaker, musician, sound artist, Distinguished Professor of Anthropology Emeritus at the University of New Mexico, and Senior Scholar at the School for Advanced Research in Santa Fé, New Mexico, US.

Exploring sound as placed-based knowledge, they will share their work and discuss how sonic and visual art combined can convey the spirit or psyche of place; how technology, community, and ethics shape their work in the Southwest; and how sound can forge emotional, cultural, and physical connections to place.
