One of the pieces on show at Acts of Listening from Future Generations sonic exhibition which launched at Fire Station.
The Fire Station: Artist in Residence has unveiled Acts of Listening from Future Generations, an exhibition curated by David Suarez Mira, who participated in its International Curator in Residence programme in 2020.
Mira invites the audience to submerge their minds in the world of sound in an experience focusing on sonic reflections promoted by artists and the environment. The exhibition features the sonic art experiences of artists Sonic Jeel, Mubarak Al Thani, Alya Al Khalifa, Guillaume Rouseré, Robin Pender, Mariam Rafehi, Sebastián Betancur, Ivan Aleksic, Ilija Aritonovic, and Asma Derouiche.
Mira is a journalist, museum adviser, and independent curator. He is a candidate for MA in Curatorial Practice at the School of Visual Arts (New York) and has an MA in Museum Studies and Cultural Heritage Management from the National University of Colombia.
His research interests centre on the permanent transformation of cultural appropriation in migratory processes and local traditions through new electronic, sculptural, performative, and socially engaged narratives. Mira’s projects focus on developing a dynamic relationship between the audience and artists in multiple transmedia and community-based formats.
