The workshop consists of a talk and a listening session on the inhabitation of ecosystems by acoustic communities that are constantly listening to each other, the complexity of the resulting soundscape, decolonial ecologies and the climate crisis. Also on hybrid (human and non-human) communities and some ideas on how to listen to all this.
Edoardo Micheli is a composer, performer and music teacher. He was born in a small village in the Italian Alps, nearby Lake Garda and has studied Music Composition and Philosophy in Verona, Venice and Würzburg. He has written and produced instrumental music for various line-ups (from solo instruments to ensembles and orchestra) and electronic music and likes to collaborate with other artists and musicians. He also works as a piano teacher in music schools where he tries to teach a relaxed and natural instrumental technique that combines body awareness and musical sensitivity in a playful way. He is interested in ecology, colonialism, art and community, sampling and remixing, non-human music, and cooking. Edoardo Micheli works and lives in Berlin, Germany.
The participation is free of charge, prior registration is not required.
The Erde-Workshops are led by the members of Moabit Mountain College and invited guests with a focus on artistic practice in connection with ecology and sustainability. Strandbad Tegelsee serves us as a very special open-air laboratory.
Erde-workshops creates an easily accessible offer for the participants: all activities don’t require professional skills, and are open to people of all ages. There is support, discussion and practical work.
All workshops take place at Strandbad Tegelsee, aim to develop this place as a nature resort towards sustainability, and create a practical platform for the knowledge exchange and crafts related to the questions of ecology, sustainability, and healing.
Erde-Workshop is a part of the two-year collaborative project Artistic Ecologies: New Compasses, Tools and Alliances conceived in collaboration with WHW, Zagreb, the Rijksakademie van beeldende kunsten, Amsterdam, and Neue Nachbarschaft/Moabit, Berlin.
The program is co-funded by the European Commission’s Creative Europe program and Foundation Between Bridges.
