Invisible Places | Sounding Cities

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

CFP Deadline Extended: March 31

Dates: 18 - 20 July

Location: Viseu, Portugal

Often acoustic space is ignored in the construction of a public space, yet
the negative impact this has does not seem to get many complaints. People
rarely require more quality of the sonic world, because the average
consumer does not have the necessary references to change this state of
affairs. We know that the prevalence of noise or sounds that do not convey
any social significance and are a disturbance of the quality of life,
reduces the ability to identify with the place we inhabit. It is therefore
urgent to think about the acoustical problems societies are facing today
and integrate that thinking in urban planning, architecture and management
of public space, because the idea we have of ourselves, our personal
awareness and the relationships we build in the external world, are
inextricably linked to a space. We all exist somewhere. And personal
identity also relates to this.



Call for papers - main topics

- Sound, place and identity

- Urban planning and architecture

- Policies for noise control

- Urban soundscapes

- Sound and sense of place

- The study of soundscapes as social and political intervention

- Sound communities

- The creation of positive soundscapes

- Sound art as public art



Call for audio works

We invite artists to show sound pieces approaching the subject of "Sound
and Sense ofPlace". We are interested in artistic works that raise
awareness to the urban soundscape and that reflect critically on how cities
are growing and being planned around the globe.
