‘If I can’t dance, I do not want to be a part of your revolution’ research bureau: Soundscape Mixtape Workshop by Colette Aliman

As sound blurs the boundaries and is able to mediate the relationship between resistance and power, in the time of COVID-19, we will aspire to speculate about and compose mixtapes about how we would sonicallyengineer our future cities.

Participants: Iná, Yan, Fateme, Iivi, ElviMixtape Title: Cough.LabConcept description:The sound of coughing became so contagious these days. Poor sound. We wanted to free the cough sound from the COVID-19 prejudice – as a way to eradicate prejudice on a bigger scale. But in the process of working together in the digital realm – shifting between three continents behind our screens – our track became more - more than a re-evaluation of the cough/deconstruction of prejudice- it became the sound of human breathing in many forms and the sound of collaboration.
