On 15 May 2025 SARC PhD candidate Robert Coleman presented at the University of Helsinki, Finland

On the 15th May I presented my research paper titled Ecological Soundwalks: Balancing Activism and Abstraction through Interdisciplinary Exploration at the Music, Research, and Activism II: Solidarities and Urgencies Conference at the University of Helsinki.
The conference featured over 100 presentations across 30 sessions, bringing together a diverse international community of scholars and practitioners to explore the intersections of music, activism, and urgent global challenges. My contribution explored how ecoacoustic methods influence my creative practice, allowing a communication of local biodiversity concerns and inspiring environmental activism.
