Re-Sounding Poetries: Collections, Classrooms, Communities
May 14 at 6:00 pm - May 17 at 4:00 pm
Join us for a curated program of plenary discussions, workshops, performances, and exhibitions.
Over the past seven years, SpokenWeb has processed literary audio collections, described them with metadata, researched their contents, made them discoverable through web platforms, and devised new ways of working with audio materials in scholarship. Now that literary collections across Canada are more discernible than ever, it’s time to make collections public – to “re-sound” them – through research-creation and teaching.
The SpokenWeb SSHRC Partnership’s final sound institute will be held in-person in various events, including UBCO and downtown Kelowna, from May 14 to 17, 2025. The SpokenWeb SSHRC project and conference are presented in partnership with the AMP Lab at UBC Okanagan.
This four-day gathering will function like an immersive summer camp experience for student and faculty researchers, archivists, librarians, artists, and members of diverse communities to engage creatively and critically with archival audio.
Participants will also have the opportunity to create new sonic poetries. Registration, programming and event information can be found via the link below.
