Sonic Pages: Reading Through Listening

Shared Scapes invites you to our second event — the first edition of Sonic Pages: Reading Through Listening. An evening of collective reading, ambient sound, conversation, and sunset on the terrace of Atelier Gardens with a view on Tempelhofer Feld.

​Reading Through Listening is an invitation to slow down and experience reading differently — not as a solitary activity, but as something shared. Bring a book that has been waiting for you, put your phone away, and settle into a collective space where reading and listening happen together.

​We’ll begin at 17:00 with a live ambient set by yuriiboiko, creating soft and open sonic textures for a 40–50 minute collective reading session. You are welcome to bring your own book – prose, poetry, essays, novels, or anything else you would like to read.

​After the reading, Arsen Malaschuk will moderate a relaxed conversation about what we read and how it felt to read together, surrounded by sound and other readers.

​We’ll then transition into a live performance that weaves together sympathetic string resonances, synths, voice, and a small selection of field recordings, by Loris Foti – a chance to unwind, listen, talk, and enjoy the sunset over Tempelhofer Feld.

About the artists

yuriiboiko is a researcher and interdisciplinary artist based in Berlin. His practice moves between sound, text, research, and collaborative artistic formats, exploring different ways of sensing, knowing, and relating to the world. He has performed live at MOWE Festival, Cashmere Radio, SB (Space Between) among others, and has been involved in exhibitions, curatorial projects, and research-creation formats in Berlin and internationally. He is currently a resident artist at Culterim in Berlin.

Loris Foti sound artist, music pedagogist and musician, currently exploring the margins between sound, language, and meaning through live performance, audiovisual and sound installation, unfolding a praxis through the lenses of psychoacoustics, postcoloniality, and ecocriticism - his research involves a transdisciplinary approach, borrowing from frameworks such as critical thinking, onto-epistemology, theory of complexity, noise and historical memory.
