From 18:00

In Lucid Dreams We Dance presents New Contexts for Sound, a new zine developed through ongoing research into contemporary sound practices and the conditions that shape their production and presentation.
The publication stems from a conversation held at Auto Italia in March 2025 with Eduard Solaz (IKLECTIK) and Sara Sassanelli (Conditions, Alice Agency), hosted by the Art/Work Association.

Starting at 6 pm, the evening will open with a speculative conversation, open to all, inviting participants to reflect collectively on ideal, possible, and impossible scenarios for experimental and performative sound practices today, in London and beyond. Conceived as a shared moment of exchange, the session aims to imagine together new, utopian “contexts for sound,” fostering a space for collective thinking and imagination.

This will be followed by a collective listening set by gravemere.

In Lucid Dreams We Dance is a curatorial platform co-founded in 2022 by Clara Rodorigo and Jael Arazi as a transitory space dedicated to sound and performance. Over the past few years, the platform has curated a diverse programme of events across London and beyond, inhabiting grassroots and hybrid venues such as Chisenhale Studios, Spanners, IKLECTIK and Auto Italia. These initiatives have taken multiple forms—from performance evenings featuring musicians and artists including Kenichi Iwasa, AJ Pain, and Agostino Quaranta, to screenings of films such as those by Rebecca Salvadori, as well as discursive gatherings like the one hosted at Auto Italia. Collectively, these activities chart an evolving practice that seeks to create porous, adaptable contexts in which sound can be experienced, shared, and reimagined.

gravemere is a London-based experimental ambient producer and sound artist hailing from Huddersfield. Their work includes samples of bat echolocation, photosynthesis bubbles through hydrophones, and the electromagnetic hum of hand-soldered induction microphones picking up frequencies imperceivable to human ears. Blurring the boundaries between the real, the present, and the remembered.
