Curator's Tour|Attunement: Contemporary Politics between Mindscape and Soundscape Tour Special Program

【Curator’s Tour by Hsu Fang-Tze】
How can sound serve as an invisible force to cross borders and shape our subjectivity? In today’s world of ongoing crises and shifting geopolitical landscapes, how do we find our footing again through the simple act of "listening"?
Join us for a special tour with curator Hsu Fang-Tze as she introduces the core themes of "Attunement: Contemporary Politics between Mindscape and Soundscape". Focusing on three key elements—water, air, and earth—the tour explores how 13 artists employ Chinese ink scroll paintings, bioelectrodes, and historical sound archives to reveal the issues of environmental justice, border wars, and social governance hidden behind the sounds.
