March 15: I was all ear

“Listen to everything all the time and remind yourself when you are not listening,” Pauline Oliveros

Sound artist and filmmaker XARENI LIZARRAGA manifests a Sonic World transporting audiences to another time, another place, through interdisciplinary art and sound performance. I was all ear invites witnesses to bolster their sonic awareness and deep listening while sharing sound that thickens the sensory stew of our lives. I was all ear celebrates the sense of sound that we depend upon to help us interpret, communicate with, and express the world around us.
