GRAGRANICA / Paweł Romańczuk

GRAGRANICA
Concept: Paweł Romańczuk

The purpose of the workshop action in Stolec dedicated to its inhabitants will be the combination of identification of local sound identity with a DIY creation of playing structures embedded in the space of Stolec. The borderlands are interesting social enclaves in which borders (in this case, the Polish-German border) are less explicit and literal. Sometimes the meaning of one’s own living space is less determined by the administration, and more by sense of space in terms of micro-geography. By concentrating on broadly understood sound (both the audiospherical one, and the creative one), I would like the participants to build together several instruments / sonic constructions referring to the sound qualities of places known to the inhabitants, followed by an attempt to confer those places – enriching the quality of life in social dimension – with some meaning, to comprehend them and to “feel” them symbolically. Manual and technical involvement of the participants (from any age group), the desire to enrich one’s own place with unique sound creations, and perhaps to give them permanent audiospheric identification – are the processes that I would like to initiate in the hope that they may have an impact on life of inhabitants of Stolec.
