When Voices Become Knowledge: Hear, hear! in the Forum Knowledge
How does an exhibition come together with a community? The event Hear, hear! Voices and Sounds from the Community addresses this question as part of the podcast festival Knowledge to Listen in the Forum Knowledge Göttingen. At the center is the special exhibition Hear, hear! Stories, Sounds, and Knowledge from Burkina Faso, whose conception is closely connected to members of the West African community.
An exhibition that listens
The exhibition understands oral tradition not merely as a supplement to written sources, but as an independent form of knowledge. Voices, memories, and personal experiences shape the exhibition concept and expand the museum space with a vibrant, dialogical level. For the visitors, a special art experience emerges between cultural education, sound art, and scientific mediation.
Immersive Sound Level and Personal Perspectives
A central component of the exhibition is an immersive sound level. The voices of the community advisory board members Nebou N’Diaye and Amadou Sanou intertwine with sound installations by musician and DJ Viktor Marek. The sound design changes the spatial effect and directs the contemplation of the works towards listening as an aesthetic experience. Language, rhythm, and atmosphere become materials for an installation that makes knowledge sensually tangible.
Discussion on Curation and Cultural Participation
Nebou N’Diaye, Amadou Sanou, Viktor Marek, and curator Tatjana Dübbel provide insights into the collaboration on the exhibition project. Moderated by Sandra Potsch, they discuss how a community advisory board enriches museum curation and how different perspectives are incorporated into an exhibition. This opens up perspectives on questions of representation, cultural memory, and the transmission of knowledge.
An Event of the Podcast Festival Knowledge to Listen
The event takes place as part of the podcast festival Knowledge to Listen, organized by the Forum Knowledge and Hotel FREIgeist Göttingen City in cooperation with NDR. The festival combines discussions, live podcasts, sound performances, and workshops into a diverse day focused on knowledge, voice, and acoustic storytelling forms.
Conclusion: Listening as a Cultural Experience
Visitors can expect a concentrated discussion on the creation of a participatory exhibition and the significance of voice, sound, and collaboratively developed knowledge. Anyone wanting to experience cultural participation, contemporary museum education, and immersive sound art firsthand should visit this special program point live at the Forum Knowledge.
