Escaping Accelerated Reality
Slovenian dramaturge, publicist and producer Jasmina Založnik will engage in a conversation about the performativity of walking in the context of art. More precisely, she is interested in a sound walk as a form that evades spectacularity of art products and as a form of slowing down.
• Mapping Memories – Sava, Majdičev log
The project explores the river as a water body which constantly flows “through place and time of human history”, leaving behind the traces that become inevitable part of the environment and a proof of the cohabitation of nature and humans.
The Art of Sound Walks
The 2 hour long broadcast on National Radio Slovenia will explore the meaning and breadth of sound walks – an artistic format that focuses on sensitizing our perception of the environment and questioning our involvement and influence on it.
