Listening Bodies Projects

An audio tour that is also an artistic performance. The audience is also the performer. On this unusual journey through the Humboldt Forum, participants encounter the recent history and architecture of this place with a special focus on the body and the senses. They will be accompanied by a choreography of sound composition, suggestions for training body awareness and the senses, voices of contemporary witnesses since the 1990s and Berliners. The tour will become part of the Humboldt Forum’s Digital Collection at Berliner Stadtschloss in summer 2024.
