Synopsis

Listening Guests begins with the belief that a distinct mode of listening exists shaped by the experiences and histories of diaspora. It explores the complex relationships of diasporic communities form with listening through language, music, and various aural events in daily life. Diasporic senses are closely tied to identities shaped within the shifting dynamics between the homeland, the host country, and the diaspora communities. As these three spheres are in constant flux, diasporic communities negotiate and mediate their positions within changing political and economic contexts and varying degrees of access to cultural resources. In doing so, they cultivate unique listening practices and ethics that reflect the particular spatiotemporality of diasporic life.
