STRP Festival 2023

Workshop — The Art of Listening

STRP Festival 2023: The Art of Listening

From 13 to 16 April 2023, STRP Festival dives deeper into the theme of 'The Art of Listening'. In our society we prefer seeing to hearing and speaking to listening. Self-expression is what drives thinking, science and our social media. Now that social media serve as a megaphone for the masses, and anyone can voice their opinion at any time, STRP wonders who is left to listen. How can we revalue and reclaim the art of listening? With this question in mind, STRP is looking to collaborate with artists, designers, thinkers, and makers in order to translate the theme of Listening into original, critical and innovative works or scenarios for the future. Learn more about the theme here.

STRP Expo

In STRP Expo, national and (inter)national artists present 14 mostly new works that explore listening as a method. What would an environment for active and empathetic listening look like? How can we train our ears and hearts to be more receptive to our fellow human beings, to plants and animals, to nature? All artists are inspired by the Deep Listening practice of Pauline Oliveros.
Please note: your Expo ticket is valid for all 4 days, so you can rejoin our exhibition as many times as you like.

STRP Scenarios

STRP Scenarios is an on-going series of public talks that focus on the ethics of technology and the impact it has on individuals and society. This year again, STRP is collaborating with creative co-creators to put together exciting formats and find surprising ways to delve into the theory and initiate conversations. The theme of the festival will be made tangible in three hybrid sessions about different subthemes and using different ways of interaction. You can join all STRP Scenarios online with the STRP Digital ticket. The STRP Scenarios will take place on 13, 14 and 15 April 2023.
Please note: STRP Scenarios require a separate ticket that can be found in the ticketshop.

STRP Education

STRP's educational programme is an accessible way for students and teachers to get to know the festival's wide-ranging programme. Guides will take young people by the hand, teach them more about the theme and the artworks, and encourage them to explore the topic of listening together.
