Jean-Daniel Lafontant and Badji members of the Sacred Temple Na-Ri-VéH 777 contribute to the preservation of Vodou's religious and cultural heritage. Here they present some highlights of various traditions and events such as a funeral, the Easter Rara procession, an agricultural protection rite, and activities in the temple.

Leandro Nerefuh & Caetano & Libidiunga lure us into trance as CLOVIS interstellar entities. The CLOVIS are Solar Worshippers and Guardians of the Sun, travelling far and wide across the universe including the earth, which they have been visiting for millennia. This live performance is open to the public!

"2 : 1" brings together two longtime occupations of Knut Aufermann: the setting up of live sound installations that utilise radio feedback to create a continuously shifting sound, and the joy of playing the traditional German card game Skat. If all goes well, both will happen simultaneously in the Radio Art Zone studio.

Interdisciplinary artist Cheuk Wing Nam reflects the strange and contradictory phenomenon of a silent metropolis. During the lockdowns and isolation caused by COVID-19, Hong Kong became a silent place. Is a city recognisable any more from its soundscape? What even is a city, if not for the hustle and bustle?

Vocalist and performer Claire Serres brings voices together to create choralité, as a practice without repertoire or vocal hierarchy, but through improvised singing in relation to breath and gesture, listening to others and to ourselves. The Waves Choir illuminates this process in its vocal, social and emotional dimensions.

Fabiano Kueva curates a 22-hour sound body from the work of 8 Central and South American artists based on environmental political listening, radical soundscaping, pre/during/post pandemic tones, the archive of voices, oral memory, and traditional music, proposing a diverse sound palette in aesthetics and reflections.
