Following the four-day workshop \u201cFriction as Form: A Workshop on Writing, Sound, and Collaboration\u201d (held at Goethe-Institut Athens, 9, 10, 15, and 16 October), which focuses on the ways in which \u201cmistakes, interruptions, or misunderstandings might help us create something new,\u201d Noisy Mics is an invitation to a collective, live, multilingual feedback loop of voice and sound.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It will take place at KET on Thursday, 16 October, and will be facilitated by E Scourti as part of the Noisy Words Festival.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Noisy Mics is a form of polyphonic refusal: a collective effort that seeks to make sense of noise both as a disruption and as a breach of communication, with political and aesthetic potential that challenges systems of coherence and control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Holding space for diverse languages, media, and forms \u2014 poetry, spoken word, sound and music improvisation, stories \u2014 Noisy Mics welcomes both first-timers and experienced performers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In this special edition, readings will spark impromptu sonic responses, creating a space where words glitch, echo, and resonate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Noisy Words Festival is a collaboration between the Goethe-Institut Athen and KET, and is curated by musician and sound artist evi nakou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
