Date
- 17:30 / Cancelled 17:30 / Sold out 17:30 – 18:30
Location
Open-Air Amphitheatre Gulbenkian GardenMetal barrels, plastic bags, glass bottles and other unconventional elements are reconfigured as instruments, giving rise to a sonic universe that pushes the boundaries between music and noise, between the artistic and the utilitarian.
More than a timbral exploration, this is an aesthetic and political gesture: shifting the value of materials, reactivating listening and questioning the criteria that legitimise what is, or is not, recognised as music.
Sons de Resistência is part of (de)composição, a sound art programme curated by Raquel Castro, conceived as an artistic response to the growing waste crisis.
Tickets for this activity can only be collected at the CAM ticket office.
