Resound Kefalonia 2018
Resound Kefalonia is a Sound and Space Research group that took place on the island of Kefalonia, Greece from May 15 - 21, 2018.
ABOUT
Hosted at the Ionion Centre for the Arts and Culture, the research group was led by artist and educator Sandra Volny Ph.D. founder at Sound and Space Research with invited sound artist Jacob Kirkegaard.
During this intensive week, the research group forged links and induced relations of analogy between art, sciences and the sociological, environmental context. In the clash of our remembering, it is necessary to stretch the ear in order to become conscious of our surroundings. By amplifying our aural spatial awareness, Resound Kefalonia not only encountered sonic traces from the past, but also aural imprints from refugees washed up on Greek shores.

“By paying attention to our surroundings we can open our senses and sensitivity to multiple realities.This interdisciplinary research team operated by redirecting our modalities of attention to create situations in which an individual’s awareness of his or her surroundings arises through sound. ”
