Free Hearing Place Panel

In this roundtable panel “Hearing Place,” academic scholar-artists demonstrate different ways of listening to, or “hearing” place, through creative and critical forms of expression and engagement. They will contextualize Missouri in place and time (from pre-European settlement to the near present and future). Ecomusicologist Megan Murph leads a "listening to place" activity that tunes mind and body into intentional listening; geographer Mark Palmer animates the nonhuman soundscape through “Indigi-neered” recordings of wildlife; historian Tim Langen shares the traditions of northern Missouri fiddle music; Donald Quist and Soren Larsen share their experiences of placewriting; and Janet Saidi and Tina Casagrand trade their favorite voices from River Town, a new podcast that takes listeners to the Missouri River. Soren Larsen narrates the transitions between the performances, providing additional context. Click here to meet the speakers.

Reserving this ticket counts as registration. We look forward to seeing you there!
