Experience an extraordinary weekend (August 25-27, 2023) full of creative connection of sounds with seemingly unconnected worlds around us at the Schaubmar mill in Pezinok. Festival SHE HAD<\/em> with the dramaturgical program I'M THE PLACE this year will bring together female artists and researchers with a personal relationship to the places in the field where they have been working for a long time. At the festival, you can listen to Brazilian music and an extensive sound archive of birdsong.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the international interprofessional festival SHE HAD<\/em> this year we will meet female artists, female scientists who creatively work with sound and use the so-called active listening. In the field, in this way, they observe various phenomena from the fields of art, anthropology, ethnomusicology, and zoology and examine them in their original, natural place of origin. They will make their unique field diaries available to the audience during the festival in the form of lectures, musical performances, performative listening session<\/em> or screenings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The festival works with the concept of traveling curation, and this year David Petr\u00e1\u0161, who is dedicated to collecting disappearing sounds in the border areas of Slovakia, accepted the invitation to the position of festival guarantor. He listens to the last wetlands around the Ipe\u013e River, records original funeral songs around Lu\u010denac and collaborates with photographer Lucia Nimcov\u00e1 on researching traditional music and the sound environment in the Ukrainian Carpathians. He is the dramaturg of the festival and association RUINY, which works with the forgotten architecture and local mythology of Novohrad and Gemer. He studied at the Institute of Sonology in The Hague.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tickets for the festival can be purchased<\/strong> through the Tootoot platform<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
