em guide southernests: radiolibre. free communication infrastructures from colombia
In this series by 3/4 magazine, Argentina-based curator, researcher and sound artist Florencia Curci introduces us to artists and creators who, through their diverse activities, bring communities together to educate, create and express themselves within the cultural and political landscape of South America. Drawing from this intensive engagement with sound and archival practices, Florencia researches tools for community-building. These gatherings act as nests of friendship that give rise to actions that build foundations for better futures, resisting the monoculture of the present.
em guide “el pueblo, el pueblo, el pueblo ¿dónde está?” estallido social and co-listening to sound (noise) archives
This text reflects on the sonic dimensions of Chile’s Estallido Social, where noise served as a tool of resistance. Drawing on Attali’s concept of noise as a disruptor, it explores how sonic practices like “cacerolazos” and chants challenged the order and redefined public space. Chattopadhyay’s idea of co-listening frames these sounds as collective and political acts that foster communal engagement, while co-listening to sound archives from this period also evokes the creative potential of noise, allowing it to resonate across memories, territories and disputes, imagining other (new) realities.
