ANIMA MUNDI #5 – environmental relationships through Sound Art and cultural exchange

Jul 2024  

Audiowalk Sleepertown landscape and lake

ANIMA MUNDI is a European exchange project and network of project spaces for sound art and contemporary music, record labels and actors in experimental music scenes from Germany, Poland and Ireland that produces innovative works of contemporary music and sound art on the experience of environmental relationships, climate change and ecological issues and presents them to a broad local audience. The musically and sonically diverse works and formats – concerts, concert and sound performances, field recordings, sound and multimedia installations as well as sound and audio walks – are intended to enable people of all ages and social backgrounds to get to know sound art in all its diversity and to gain sensual and direct, active access to their environment and its social and historical dimensions at the respective locations, particularly through listening.

The fifth edition of ANIMA MUNDI, which will take place from 12th September to 9th November 2024 in Berlin, various regions in Brandenburg, and in Poland, will focus on the audio walks of the Irish project SLEEPERTOWN from OpenGorey. The 11 audio walks are accessible at any time during the project period via smartphone, Echoes app and headphones and can be experienced free of charge.
On selected days, there will be guided tours on site, see programme, for which tickets can be purchased. The audio walk-programme will be accompanied by several concert and sound performance events in Berlin, Eberswalde, Cottbus and Luckau as well as in Gorzów and Szczecin. Tickets are also available for these events.


ANIMA MUNDI was initiated in 2022 by Janine Eisenächer and Zorka Wollny Errant Sound, Berlin and Gaia Bartolini aka Allegra Solitude Liebig12 in Berlin in cooperation with Bartosz Nowak Miejski Ośrodek Sztuki and Terminal 08 in Gorzów/ PL. Since last year, the Irish record label Farpoint Recordings has been a further project and cooperation partner, and this year the Irish association OpenGorey is joining them with its audio walk-project.
