Gender of Sound. A Discussion

Discussion with
Maria Dada | Marie Lopez | Nina Power

Following our event »Women Machines? Drone Night«, which theoretically and practically addressed the experience of female sound artists who become part of machinic assemblages, we are now happy to return to the starting point of this investigation with Nina Power. Two weeks ago, it was starting from her essay »Woman Machines: The Future of Female Noise« that we began to explore the practice of sound; this week, we would like to approach the question of the female-sounding voice from a different perspective, listening in to the city and its relationship to capital in more detail.
