Opening on Tuesday, July 2nd, 2024 at 7pm
Visits from Thursday to Saturday from 2:30pm to 6:30pm
Exhibition closed from July 27th to August 15th.
*next nest* is a 10-channel sound installation that invites dwelling in latent listening space and produces allegories of sound ecologies.
It draws from the Sarakatsani house, a yurt structure built from braided reeds and twigs, which would be disassembled and carried in pieces during seasonal migration. Such senses of place and architectures of creativity and resilience are re-imagined in a latent manner, as a habitus of listening. The research seeks to use inductive materials and stochastic patterns as autonomous weaving machines, to be presented in a modular installation and archive.
Biography of the artist:Sofia Zafeiriou is a musician, composer, and sound artist born in Naousa and based in Athens, Greece. Part of her research explores the intersection of lived rhythms and modalities with electronic and stochastic interfaces, noise, improvisation, and acoustic performances. Her work includes musical composition for ensembles and DIY orchestras, field recordings in nature and in camps, sounds derived from relationships between things, sometimes oddly situated in the deep. She has performed her works live in Nantes, Diyarbakir, Tirana, Beirut, Slemani, Cyprus, Berlin, and Athens.

Toolkit of Care is an interdisciplinary group of creative practitioners, academics, researchers, and artistic/craft organizations specializing in creative technologies, who have come together to form a “critical care network”. The action network collaborates to share collective expertise and technical knowledge creatively employed to develop care knowledge and methodologies.This short-term scientific mission is based on the work of COST Action Toolkit of Care (TOC), CA21102, supported by COST (European Cooperation in Science and Technology). https://cost.eu
