Sound It: As Cidades Invisíveis no CCB, com Laura Nardi e Sofia Vitória

The Invisible Cities by Amândio Pinheiro, with Laura Nardi and Sofia Vitória

Cities are almost always presented to us through an anomaly, which constitutes their identity.
It’s the formation, or rather the deformation, the deviation, that over time has given it characteristics that distinguish it from all other cities. The series, the accumulation of these incidents and anomalies over the centuries or millennia, give it the individuality that makes it recognisable not only to those who live in it, but above all to those who visit it like Marco Polo, or hear about it like Kublai Khan.

Amândio Pinheiro invited various actors and architects to read extracts from Italo Calvino’s immeasurable work, which gives the programme its name.

Sound It brings Rádio Antecâmara’s residency to Garagem Sul at CCB. With a wide-ranging programme over six months, the studio welcomes numerous guests, and it is through dialogues between architects, artists, designers, and in conversations with poets or landscape designers, between interludes made of sounds and music, that Rádio Antecâmara takes a closer look at our contemporaneity.
The programme hosts interviews and conversations recorded on the opening day of the exhibition and future programmes, the result of integrating new elements into Radio through Open Call.
Sound It explores the ways in which sound constructs and shapes perception and spatial experience. Transcending the visual dimension and going beyond acoustics, Sound It delves into the perceptual, narrative, emotional and referential dimensions of space. It’s a subjective journey to discover an invisible architecture, a space perceived sonically, an audible and emotional place.
The word is the virus of radio, sound is the matter of space.
