Wednesdays of sound and body is the Santa Mònica’s programme dedicated to experimental proposals that explore the intersections between music and the human body with free and regular sessions every Wednesday at 7pm in the Sala Bar.
Sound and Body Wednesdays is a meeting place for audiences, creators, programmers, dilettantes and curious people eager to enjoy a programme of sound experimentation, improvised music, voice, dance and small-format performance in a relaxed and close environment such as the Sala Bar.
This programme and the production of each session are curated by different external and internal groups from Santa Mònica who are periodically invited. Through all these voices, a unique choral work space is created in the constant construction of collective meanings. The different artistic proposals show the diversity and plurality of views of experimental musical and stage creation.

In search of a forgotten commonality, we approach collective listening. Where bodies, geographies and timelines converge through the listening and overlapping of languages. In this listening session, Khamoosh community member pantea shares sounds from the Khamoosh sound library while inviting participants to contribute to this listening session by submitting a recording of their daily lives, to look for commonalities of feeling , synchronicity and co-constitutions of languages and borders.
