OPEN CALL – Cities and Memory: Utopia

I’m pleased to announce a callout for submissions to our latest project, Cities and Memory: Utopia.

The project takes the concept of reimagining the sounds of places off the real-world map and into the imaginary land created by Thomas More in 1516.

Using a woodcut map from 1518, sound artists will each take a small section of More’s imagined country of Utopia, and create a new soundscape imagining how that place (and the society living in it) might sound.

Cities and Memory: Utopia takes one of English literature’s great works of imagination and creates something new from the words of Thomas More and the collective imagination of artists around the world – an entirely new Utopia of sound.
