And Another Thing I Heard (book presentation)

In And Another Thing I Heard, composer, artist, researcher and educator Esther Venrooij invites us to reconsider listening as an active, creative and critical way of engaging with the world. Moving between music, architecture, film, philosophy and everyday life, the book explores how sound shapes our experience of spaces, bodies, memories and relationships.

During this evening at STUK Leuven, Venrooij presents her new book and reflects on the many modes and practices of listening that have informed her artistic and academic work. From the resonance of sacred spaces to the intimacy of a voice, from attentive listening as a form of care to the politics of surveillance, And Another Thing I Heard reveals listening as far more than a background activity. It is a way of meeting the world.

The publication combines theoretical reflection with practical exercises for artists, architects, musicians, performers, educators, researchers, and curious listeners alike.

Join us for an evening of listening, reflection and conversation.
