This Friday, December 12th, marks the final installment of the 2025 “Listening and Posthumanism” lecture series organized by NIMSE. This time, the guest is Fernando Godoy, sound artist, manager, and director of Tsonami Arte Sonoro, who will present the talk “Listening: Socio-Environmental Activism and Sound Art.” The event will be held remotely and streamed via the CMUS YouTube channel.

Tsonami Arte Sonoro is an organization dedicated to the promotion and development of contemporary and experimental sound practices, based in Valparaíso, Chile. Active since 2007, the organization has, in its 19 years of existence, promoted research into sound and listening as an artistic practice at the intersection of academic disciplines and the territorial context. Currently, the organization focuses on four areas of work: Publishing (with physical and digital publications from Tsonami Ediciones), Education (with projects such as the Diploma in Sound Art and the Latin American School of Sound Art for Children), Artistic Promotion (with projects such as the Tsonami Festival and a permanent residency program), and the management of the experimental radio station radiotsonami.org.

Fernando Godoy’s work explores sound and listening as spaces of cultural, sensory, and phenomenological relationship. His practice encompasses installations, radio broadcasts, concerts, listening actions, editorial publications, and curatorial work, presented at festivals and venues in Chile, Argentina, Peru, Bolivia, and Colombia. Ecuador, Brazil, Canada, Estonia, Italy, Portugal, Spain, Greece, Mexico, and Germany.

The series of talks that brings together specialists around the theme “Listening and Posthumanism” is an initiative of the Research Center for Music, Sound, and Listening and the Fodnecyt 11240463 project “From Sound to Listening: Theories and Methods in Aurality Studies,” led by CMUS research associate Natalia Bieletto.
