WEAVING SOUND
\nInterdisciplinary Art in an Evolving Landscape<\/p>\n

An artist residency and research with Maya McCollum
\nJanuary 20th to February 22nd, 2025
\nV\u00e1rzea de Calde (Viseu)<\/p>\n

The artist residency with Maya McCollum, held from January 20th to February 22nd, 2025 in V\u00e1rzea de Calde, has come to an end. The artist, hosted by Binaural Nodar with a Thomas J. Watson grant, worked with sound, textile crafts and contemporary technologies, aiming to reimagine sustainable local production, taking into account environmental issues and climate change. Maya’s focus was on understanding how artists can engage with communities in a mutually beneficial way, enriching both the community and the creative process.<\/p>\n

Maya McCollum is a sound artist and researcher from the USA, currently studying the intersection between traditional textile crafts and contemporary listening and\/or sound technologies. In the context of textile arts modalities and field recording, collecting, both sound and material, has the ability to help us form different understandings of places through multi-sensory approaches, observation and intimacy. Maya’s practice often uses a combination of animation, video-mapping, performance and sculptural techniques, exploring how our technological and material practices have been imprinted on the landscapes around us, recording the rooted collective histories and forming a memory of the artistic presence itself.<\/p>\n
