LISTENING TO THE CRACKS (ongoing)
Humans and non-human animals coexist in urban spaces, yet our relationship remains largely asymmetrical. "Listening to the Cracks" is a research project that delves into the often-inaudible sounds of urban nature.
The project explores "strange kinship" with urban non-human animals, particularly those often overlooked or labeled as pests. We investigate the “cracks” in urban environments—untended and unexpected spaces where life thrives. Using field recordings, sonic analysis, and public sound walks, we focus on deep listening as a way to move away from anthropocentric empathy and instead engage with these creatures on their own terms, exploring how they persist in human-dominated spaces.
