MOCA: QUANTUM LISTENING
ORGANIZED AT THE MUSEUM OF CONTEMPORARY ART, LOS ANGELES (MOCA) AND Inspired by composer Pauline Oliveros’ manifesto for listening as activism, Quantum Listening explores the everyday phenomena of the sonic as a realm of healing and radical transformation rooted in musicianship. Through open conversations, screenings, and listening sessions, the series acts as a soundboard that mixes our dialogues and amplifies our curiosities about the world around us.
