It's soon Sonic Citizens! This year I and @lmc-lu.bsky.social have been helping with the programme, and we have Kate Lacey as keynote speaker (possibly also "keynote listener"...), plus Shortwave Collective, Laura Balboa, Lilian Campesato and loads more. Register here: kulturljudzon.se/index.html

Event graphic for "Sonic Citizens" set against a street scene at sunset. Concentric soundwave circles frame central text reading "10 days to go" alongside two model tiger heads wearing headphones. Text at the top reads "25-26 SEPTEMBER KULTURLJUDZON" and the bottom reads "SONIC CITIZENS Full programme at kulturljudzon.se".

Visited @iurmalmo.bsky.social today to hear, among other interesting things, a presentation of the Gaza Soundmapping Project (ambientgaza.org). Worth checking out and supporting if you're interested in sound archives, sound mapping and the politics of listening in a Palestinian context.

A seated audience watches a presentation screen showing a digital map titled "Gaza Soundmapping Project." To the right is a banner for "IUR, Malmö University, Institute for Urban Research".

I recently read the work of my LU colleague Carl-Johan Palmqvist, a philosopher of belief, "non-doxasticism" and misinformation. A key point wasn't just that misinformation leads to false beliefs but that a context of fake news and AI imagery makes it harder to ever be sure of anything.
