Beyond Listening 3: Resounding the Rights of Nature

Does Nature — its various ecosystems and species — need rights to stand as equals with us, the one species that draws and polices the very boundary between human and natural worlds? What role could sound and listening play in rewiring how we relate to nature through law, but also everyday practices, creative initiatives, ethical responsibility, and the respect of shared values?

Beyond Listening: Re-Sounding Rights of Nature is an international symposium co-organized by the Central European Network for Sonic Ecologies (CENSE) and the Nadbałtyckie Centrum Kultury (NCK) in Gdańsk. Building on a series of meetings launched in Budapest in 2019, it brings together artists, researchers, activists, and civic institutions who use sound and listening to rethink how we coexist, with each other and with other species, across the built and natural environments we share.

Join us for several days of probing new ways — and recovering old ones — of understanding, sensing, and re-sounding our deep dependence on more-than-human worlds and the many beings that build and sustain them, now increasingly at risk.
