Episode # 6: Listening With Ximena Alarcón Díaz, PhD

Description: In this episode, you will hear from the Columbian-born and UK-residing sound artist Dr. Ximena Alarcón Díaz. She is a sound and listening artist-researcher exploring embodied forms of sensing place and telepresence to listen to and sound collectively our sonic migrations. She speaks about how migration and geographical changes alter the sense of bodily placement and lead to dislocation. She also addresses the idea of relational listening in the concept of cultural inbetweeners and uses Ana Mendieta's performances as one illustration of this idea.
