Becoming Futures is a festival dedicated to sound practices, sonic fiction, and music theory, curated by Timespan with the Italian artistic and curatorial collective ALMARE and the Italian web radio and audio archive Radio Papesse, and supported by the Italian Institute of Culture in Edinburgh.
Becoming Futures focuses on sound practices, particularly those exploring science fiction, psychopolitical narratives, and utopias of revolt. Over two days of festival we want to collectively reflect on how the imagining of multiple futures can contribute to revolutionising the present, transforming the utopias into a “rebellious mode of possibility” (José Esteban Muñoz), and into something “habitable in the here and now” (Ursula K. Le Guin).
The festival line-up features Radiophrenia’s Mark Vernon, ALMARE, Natasha Thembiso Ruwona, Steve Goodman, and Radio Papesse bringing an incredible selection of national and international sound artists and practitioners to the Highlands.
The festival is curated by Timespan with ALMARE and Radio Papesse as a continuation of their collaboration for the project Life Chronicles of Dorothea Ïesj S.P.U. awarded the 11thedition of the Italian Council.
