Sound Activation

A sound activation is proposed in dialogue with the musical tradition of havaneras, songs that emerged during the Spanish colonization of Cuba whose lyrics refer to stories of Spanish and Catalan sailors, lovers and navigators. The proposal, based on songs, whispers and fragments of these songs that intersect some of the texts and lines of research present in the exhibition, is interested in the potential of the oral story as an act of rejection to the silencing of the violence – present today – on the transatlantic routes, as well as in the re-signification of the marine landscape in the face of the anthropocentric and patriarchal gaze that still characterizes it.
