We're pleased to announce, the 'Contested Resonances' two-day conference, will be hosted virtually online by Queen's University Belfast. You are warmly invited to join us.

This interdisciplinary conference will examine conflict and post-conflict contexts through sound in performative practice. Themes include: peace-building efforts by music-based community arts initiatives; sonic-arts and theatrical re-soundings of conflict; creative and musical interventions in conflict and post-conflict societies; sound-based methodologies for exploring the narratives and everyday experiences of people in post-conflict contexts.
