THE ART OF LISTENING

THE ART OF LISTENING was an investigation of culture, how it shapes us and how we shape it. It was a 2-year project consisting of a series of workshops, cross-cultural processes, and projects which all had an investigative, poetic, and playful approach.

During Snapsting 2017 (Viborg’s festive week in June), THE ART OF LISTENING process culminated in an artistic manifestation – an epicenter in the streets of Viborg – that served as a unifying platform for the activities that grew out of TAOL’s NETVÆRK and also involved a performance installation created by professional artists in collaboration with young people from TAOL’s LAB.

As a part of Aarhus’ and East Jutland’s status as European Capital of Culture in 2017, the municipality of Viborg, the public libraries in Viborg, Kulturprinsen, and Carte Blanche created the project RETHINK YOUR AUDIENCE. THE ART OF LISTENING was Carte Blanche’s contribution. It consisted of two main lines: NETVÆRK and THE LAB.
