TO)pot – Festival of radical soundwalks

Beyond Listening 2025 – Central European Network for Sonic Ecologies Symposium

23–27 Sept 2025 | Slovenia
Cukrarna Gallery, Sečovlje Salina Nature Park, City Museum of Ljubljana and public spaces

The Festival of radical soundwalks TO)pot, features soundwalks, concerts and critical reflection, and brings together artists, theorists and curious walkers in dialogue with spaces, their temporalities and more-than-human entities. The festival’s subtitle, Walking-with Changes, points to the potential of walking and listening as practices that foster a deeper understanding of place and its shifting constant.

Through attentive listening, walkers are invited to adopt a critical approach to the environments they inhabit – or, in the context of migration, are still learning to inhabit – and to attune themselves to both local and global landscapes.
The 6th CENSE international Symposium – Beyond Listening 2025 is embedded within the broader framework of the TO)pot festival. The CENSE Symposium is produced by Cona Institute, co-organised by the Science and Research Centre Koper, Institute for Philosophical and Religious Studies, and facilitated by the Central European Network for Sonic Ecologies.
