This workshop offers a collective exploration of the histories, materials, and social concerns that shaped Pauline Oliveros’ work with the Sonic Meditations and other facets of her practice. Our experience will illuminate the Meditations through archival materials and explore connections between sound and voice with ecology, embodiment, and justice in our contemporary historical moment. Participants can expect to create collective experiments with voice and sound in museum spaces.
