The project started as a series of curatorial jams with the aim of bringing together and broadening our diverse perspectives on listening. Each of us contributed by playing with our own instruments: artistic methodologies, personal experiences, and reflections. 

The exhibition space and planned activities, filled with our personal objects, were conceived as spaces for intimate engagement. The installation adapts the gallery as a site for thinking in conversation with others by welcoming audiences to listen otherwise: by attunement, active listening, inquiry, collective listening and embodiment via walks, jam sessions, performances, conversatorios, workshops, and reading sessions. 

Third-Ear Transmissions embraces feedback, dissonances, and diverse forms of sensing sound. The communal setting resonates, flows, and interacts according to the audience/visitor/artist. At times, it becomes a radial cacophony, exploring how a multiplicity of voices can foster a sense of kinship.
