Takeover Thursday - Becoming audible

Show & Culture

For each exhibition, join us for an eclectic Takeover Thursday at the Konschthal. These events are an opportunity to rediscover the exhibitions through the eyes of our guests. Each evening is unique—imagined by contributors working in a variety of fields, it revolves around changing themes connected to the exhibitions. Through concerts, readings, talks, performances, workshops, and much more, the Konschthal constantly reinvents itself. The exhibition état bruit explores noise as a sensitive, social and political material. Beyond its sonic dimension, noise becomes a tool of resistance, a space for negotiation and a way of inhabiting the world. Through works that question listening, speech and power relations, the exhibition invites us to rethink our relationship with sound and with what it makes audible or, on the contrary, renders invisible. For this edition, the Konschthal invites Géisskan Kollektiv and Tintin Patrone to imagine an evening where speech, writing and sonic experimentation come together. Ahead of the Takeover, Géisskan Kollektiv is organising a 4-day slam writing workshop in which participants are invited to explore their environment through the senses, translate it into words, and finally send those words travelling through their voices. During the Takeover, the creations born from this collective process will be shared with you entirely through slam. The workshop will culminate in a collective performance, led by the presence of singer Carmen Luisa, which will be presented to the public during the Takeover Thursday evening.
