Tales of Sonic Displacement is the principal publication resulting from the international SoCCoS (Sound of Culture ? Culture of Sound) project, a European collaboration exploring the cultural, social and artistic dimensions of sound. Bringing together artists, curators, researchers and cultural organisations from several countries, the project investigated how listening and sonic practices can foster new forms of engagement with place, memory, identity and community. The book combines essays, artist statements, research texts and documentation of residencies and collaborative projects carried out across Europe. Through a wide range of perspectives, it examines topics such as soundscapes, mobility, migration, acoustic environments, participatory art and the role of listening as a creative and critical practice. The publication highlights the growing importance of sound-based approaches within contemporary artistic research and cultural production. Published within the framework of the Creative Europe-supported SoCCoS project, this volume documents the work of numerous international artists and researchers active in the fields of sound art, experimental music and interdisciplinary artistic practice. It serves both as a record of the project and as a contribution to current debates on sonic culture and artistic research. (AI-generated content description)
