Time to Listen

Time to Listen

The festival “Time to Listen – The Ecological Crisis in Sound and Music” took place in fall 2023 at the Akademie der Künste. We designed the identity and exhibition media for it.

The “Time to Listen” festival brings together international artists who use music to respond to the climate and environmental crisis. They use sound to encourage us to think about our relationship to the environment, technology, indigenous knowledge, climate justice and consumption in the Anthropocene from a global perspective.

For the festival, the Akademie der Künste not only dealt with sustainability artistically and discursively, but also rethought ways of acting, tried out new approaches and tested boundaries within the institutional framework. This also affected the design of all media: old flags were painted over, the plastic plot on the glass screen was replaced by buttermilk. Instead of printed program booklets, a wall newspaper in the center of the foyer displays the numerous events and activities. QR codes can be used to download the entire program booklet and work texts onto a smartphone.
