Administrative challenges for foreign artists working in Germany Workshop
Establishing oneself as a foreign artist in Germany can be exhausting. While trying to get a foothold in the local art scene you have to deal with plenty of administrative challenges (most of the time in a language you barely speak yet). Is there really something called “Künstler*innen-Visum”? How do I get a Steuernummer? What is the KSK and what is it useful for? What is the difference between a Werkvertrag and a Dienstvertrag? Where can I get (legal) help? Felix Sodemann (touring artist) and Yusuf Sahilli (Landesmusikrat Berlin) will give you an introduction into all the different administrative challenges that sometimes can keep you far away from your actual artistic work. They will also give you an overview on existing advice initiatives and programs. After the workshop there will be time for a Q’A-Session.
Time: 2:30 pm – 3:30 pm

The Land of Thunder and Lightnings Lecture
By Daniela Medina Poch
A two-sided story is an artistic act of denunciation and symbolical transformation between La Guajira, north Colombia and Vattenfall, the electric utility for the states of Hamburg, Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, Brandenburg, Berlin, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia, and Saxony. Parallel to banning the coal extraction in Germany in order to protect the environment, the German import of Colombian coal is removing Wajuu people from their land, polluting their waters and depriving them from basic rights.
Forbidden Music, Forbidden Jukeboxes: Listening Anxieties and the Hyper-amplification of Violence in Rio de Janeiro Lecture
By Pedro Oliveira
The lecture explores how the Police make extensive use of sonic design practices not only to exercise direct violence against marginalized populations in the city, but also to hyper-amplify a sense of permanent threat in the so-called”pacified” favelas of Rio. Conducting this narrative is a Jukebox that sits in a bar in a neighborhood in northern Rio, as an example of how sound marks territory for both the police and the drug factions that control Rio’s underprivileged neighborhoods.

Lectures and video essays
6:15 PM CEST
Territorializing from within Video essay
By Aleyda Rocha (Austria/Mexico)
Language: Spanish with English subtitles
“I’m my home, my many homes.” An exercise on being-in-listening for those in constant transit while feeling unsteadiness under their feet. In this audiovisual essay, Canto Cardenche becomes a space of recovery where the environment is the speaker who takes us to the other person. What started with a simple, yet monumental “how are you?” turns into an exchange on our bodily territories, identities and the bridges we move through.
6:30 PM CEST
Vacilar. A Video Essay on the possibility of a South American sonic (n)ontology Video essay
By Gregorio Fontaine (Chile)
Language: Spanish with English subtitles
This video essay will try to put into practice the sonic experience of vacilar. Vacilar is proposed as a sonic (n)ontology as it would be through sonic experience that the particular ways of being that it proposes are articulated. These particularities are explored as arising from a Latin American sensitivity. This sensitivity challenges the current leading assumption that listening is the main methodology to experience the sonic, and proposes instead that the experience of the sonic is primarily given as vacilar: an ambiguity between dancing and listening. As a video, the essay is orientated towards audiovisual experience; the notions it puts forward are to be experienced and not processed analytically. Vacilar is a spectre of feelings, moods, modes of perception and thinking that is enacted and embodied. Both as processes of receiving and giving, of expressing and wondering adrift, as an ambiguity between dancing and listening; vacilar is experienced as echolocation.This video is built as a remix of materials from other conferences and the podcast series Habladurias for Radio Tsonami. The language of the video is mainly Spanish, with some spanglish and english as well.
6:57 PM CEST
Sentidos fugitivos: escucha, costa, legibilidad
Carlos Colmenares Gil (Venezuela)
Language: Spanish
El quitiplás, sonido onomatopéyico que arropa un ritmo, un instrumento musical y un grupo de instrumentos de percusión, es uno de los secretos no guardados de la cultura afrovenezolana. Usado en cultos africanos disfrazados de fiestas católicas, y escondido en las mochilas de los esclavos por su pequeño tamaño, el quitiplás es al mismo tiempo una expresión y una encarnación de una lógica fugitiva en el caribe venezolano, donde lo que está a la vista resulta ilegible desde las categorías ya establecidas. Pensando en su ocultamiento a plena luz y en la multiplicidad contenida en el significante (sonido, ritmo, instrumento(s)), quitiplás nos permite reflexionar acerca de las posibilidades de la música de desplazar la visión a favor de la escucha y el tacto, pero en particular nos permite interrogar la idea de una destrucción de la relación jerárquica entre los sentidos (tome la forma que sea) dada su inscripción ambigua en lo que ha sido categorizado en occidente como música. De acuerdo con esto, el presente trabajo buscará hacer resonar una dinámica de legibilidad y sentido que se hace y se deshace a sí misma como las vibraciones del sonido y como las olas del mar hacia el que se enfrenta.
7:15 PM CEST
Acoustic sediments, sonorous bodies, urban unconscious. Soundscape in Mexico City Lecture
By Rodrigo Toro/Donovan Hernández Castellanos (Mexico)
Language: Spanish
Like any Latin American metropolis, the city contains pre-Hispanic remains that constitute vestiges of the colonial wound of the Mexican capital. Those remains and vestiges are interrogated, allowing us, at the same time, to discover the urban unconscious and to reinterpret our global histories with local designs. From this experience -which goes through the body, the architecture and the sound culture- soundscapes allow us to question the hegemonic listening codes, constitutive of the experience of the modern/colonial world system.
7:47 PM CEST
An introduction to LATITUDES Panel
Language: English
Latitudes is a platform that discusses urgent issues such as the decolonization and precariousness of the music industry and the editorial and media crisis in Latin America.

Moderated by DJ and co-founder of Malariah and Autonomy in Miami and member of ECO, Laura Solarte aka Bitter Babe (Colombia) with panelists: Juliana (Colombia) a third-generation DJ from Medellin and a key figure in the development of her hometown electronic music scene; Lucia Anaya from Derré Tidá (Mexico), music programmer, artistic director and co-founder of Traición, one of the most forward thinking gender inclusive parties in the region, as well as DJ and Sociologist Chico Cornejo (Brazil).
