Borealis Samtale Episode 5: Eavesdropping with Joel Stern
Borealis: Samtale is a new podcast exploring the conversation archives of Borealis – a festival for experimental music in Bergen, Norway. With Borealis artistic director Peter Meanwell, Australian curator Joel Stern discusses the intersection of the sonic and the political, as explored through the Australian curatorial platform Liquid Architecture. Framed by the context of two fundamental and ongoing struggles in Australia – for the recognition of Indigenous sovereignty, and for the rights of refugees in detention – Joel Stern shares ideas and works by artists participating in the curatorial project Eavesdropping, and opens a broader discussion not just about sound, but about the politics, ethics and responsibilities of listening. In collaboration with RadiOrakel and Bergen Public Library Supported by The Fritt Ord Foundation
