Sound Lecture: Pausing in Public Space

Community

Buvette

Gorana and Mauranne of Collectif Rallonge, formed through Geneva’s nighttime music and queer, squat and feminist scenes, create multidisciplinary collaborations and live podcasts to showcase punk, post-punk and experimental artists.

This listening salon examines practices of collective listening and the notion of ‘pausing’ in public space, exploring how sound activates community bonds, visibility, and cross-genre exchange. The presenters discuss live podcasting, collaborative performance strategies, and ways to amplify marginalised artists through shared listening and multidisciplinary projects.
