Background
International Sound Arts Festival Topographies of Sound was created in 2017 due to the weak thematisation of women artists in contemporary sound arts. The emphasis of the festival on gender difference reveals the specific historical, political, cultural and biographical contexts of sound artworks, points to the social positions of women authors and the conditions of their work, and at the same time it unveils the gender-unbalanced social realities. The festival seeks to avoid the classical concert form, mainly through the contextualization of artworks through the discussions, including the philosophy and sociology of sound and music. Artistic director Nina Dragičević started the festival as a logical continuation of her monograph The Famous Unknown: Sound Artists in the Construction of Society, published in 2016.
Programme
One of main emphasis of the festival is on contextualization of sound artworks. Soundness is the central and all-encompassing form of sociality, also subjectivation, therefore it is crucial how we listen, interpret and speak about sound arts. The first edition of the Topographies of Sound Festival in 2017 was named Contexts and it presented sound artists Bogdana Herman, Ida Hiršenfelder, Saša Spačal (Agapea), Katarina Radaljac and Sorrel Hays. The second edition of the festival in 2018 is called Becoming Sound, with sound artists Eliane Radigue, Rosanda Sajko Korun, Larisa Vrhunc, Irena Z. Tomažin, Kara Blake, Ivana Maričić, Robertina Šebjanič and Nina Dragičević.
