World Listening Day 2024: Escuchar el tejido del tiempo/ Listening to the wave of time

Thursday, July 18 is World Listening Day! 
Escuchar el tejido del tiempo/ Listening to the wave of time

The 2024 World Listening Day theme was created by Chilean sound artists Valentina Villarroel Ambiado and Camila Cijka Arzola, who work as the art collective AOIR.

The World Listening Day website, recently redesigned by Alex Braidwood, reflects the organization's dynamic new branding, also created by Braidwood, and can be viewed in a number of languages. 
New for 2024:  "Listener Accounts" + Event Registration System 
If you wish to have your World Listening Day activation officially listed, first create a Listener profile.  Once you have a profile, you can view other registrants and any social media links they have shared. 
Second, register, post, and promote your activities for World Listening Day 2024. An event will automatically appear on the public schedule when you register your "activation".  It is not too late!  Please create your listener account and register your event today. 
Students, amateurs, professional artists, and academics (maybe you are one or all of these!) are encouraged to participate in this free, global celebration of sound and listening.

Thank You WFAE

The World Listening Project extends its gratitude to the WFAE, its affiliate networks and individual members, who have participated in World Listening Day since its inception in 2010.

Core ideas which have informed ways in which the World Listening Project now collaborates and its current direction were seeded at the World Forum for Acoustic Ecology's 30th Anniversary Conference in March, 2023 at the Atlantic Center for the Arts. Ideas on how we communicate and convene continued during a 3 day "World Listening Project" symposium sponsored by Iowa State University's Center for Excellence in Arts and the Humanities as part of its recognition of World Listening Project President and sound artist, Alex Braidwood, who is an Associate Professor of graphic design there. 

The World Listening Project's new, free program, Sessions on Listening, is a monthly, one-hour themed, but relatively open conversation held on Zoom. Curated by the board, and moderated by guests from around the globe. Please join us in August for the next episode and contact us if you would like to suggest a session and a time that works for you!
