Abstract: Since 2014, the sound artist Jenny Sunesson has been working in tandem with art, artistic research and pedagogy aiming to explore the specific capacities of sound as a communicatory and transformative agent in society and as a possible vessel for re-imagining space and place.
This lecture examines the possibilities and ethical dilemmas of these practices and outlines some possible interconnections and overlaps between the three areas as well as some of the concepts developed by Sunesson.
