FrauVOnDa// 2023: THE Å // A UNIVERSE

Based on research trips to the autonomous region of Åland, an archipelago of more than 6,000 individual islands that formally belongs to Finland, FrauVonDa – together with their collaborators and science partners – explore the acoustic, tactile and visual phenomena as well as the philosophical and narrative potentials of the Baltic Sea in the 21st century.

THE Å//A UNIVERSE – HIDDEN SONGLINES OF THE BALTIC SEA unfolds artistic research as a panorama in various formats: in two installations/exhibitions, an international audio walk, artistic-political panels, workshops and a transtraditional-contemporary concert piece.

Artistic direction Claudia van Hasselt & Nicolas Wiese, along with nature writer Michaela Vieser, composers Tomi Räisänen and Amen Feizabadi, film maker Johan Karrento and sound artist Casper Lindroos and many more.
Production by FrauVonDa.
