Delta Listening 2025

Delta Listening is a series of performances, workshops and radio broadcasts that foreground listening as a creative and critical practice. Taking place in WORM and satellite venues 11-12 July, Delta Listening brings together artists and researchers to reflect on the role listening plays in our relationships to each other and to our environments. 

Convened by Brandon LaBelle and Ash Kilmartin, Delta Listening is named for Rotterdam’s location in the Rhine/Meuse/Scheldt delta, and the idea of listening as an agent of change: Delta being a symbol for variation. We invite audiences to listen for and with difference.
