On April 11-12, we invite you to two half-days on the theme sound. In this seminar, organised by CROCUS and the Sound, Narrative, Technology network, will focus on emerging projects that explore relationships between different disciplines, media and collaborators. The discussion addresses technologies and methods that we have around us all the time, and how these shape our artistic practice and everyday lives. Last, we embark on an afro-optimistic flight into the future. The seminar is held in English.

The ’Sound, Narrative, Technology’ Research Network SNT is an emerging research network between Malmö Theater Academy and SKH, Stockholm.
