- Summary:
- "This essay examines the annual Semibreve Festival and its Edigma Semibreve Scholar programme as a situated example of how sound art institutions collaborate with public communities to create spaces for collective experience, knowledge exchange, and emergent thoughts and practices. Developed within the framework of Re-Imagine Europe: New Perspectives for Action (2023-2027) project, it presents curatorial, and production processes centred on listening, experimentation, and technological innovation as forms of action to redistribute attention and visibility, without pretending to fully resolve systemic tensions. Within the European ecosystem of experimental festivals, Semibreve occupies a distinctive position as an intimate laboratory rooted in the local context of Braga, Portugal, while staying connected to a rich international network. The Edigma Semibreve Scholar programme extends the logic into a pedagogical dimension by integrating academic works from higher-education students into the festival programme. In doing so, they reaffirm learning as a crucial aspect of experimental arts, while also exposing the tension between openness and selection in the curatorial process. An analysis of artworks and ideas presented in the programme between 2021 and 2025 shows recurring concerns with sonic ecology, differences in perception, ironies of technological mediation, bodily and post-human subjectivities, with artists operating on sensory and affective levels in the face of saturation, rather than explicit narratives. The relevance of programmes like Semibreve Scholar lies not in intending to create a full democracy, but in inhabiting the tensions between creative freedom and institutionalisation in order to create space for productive encounters."-- provided by distributor.
