Tania Ketenjian & Philip Wood // Sound Made Public: The Art of Listening

SEP8
17:30 · America / Los Angeles

About this event

Join us on Tuesday, September 8th for a talk with Tania Ketenjian and Philip Wood, co-founders of SOUND MADE PUBLIC, a San Francisco and New York -based studio that creates audio experiences, sound installations, and immersive cultural programming for institutions around the world.
Award-winning journalist and producer Tania Ketenjian has spent over two decades interviewing the world's leading artists and thinkers with unique conversations that reveal intimate understandings of creativity, inspiration and the journeys that shape us. She has produced nationally and globally for NPR, the BBC, the BBC World Service and many others. Philip is a designer, maker, and cultural provocateur whose work spans branding, spatial design, furniture, and live events, and the founder of CITIZEN:Citizen, with pieces in the permanent collections of MoMA. Together, they've built SOUND MADE PUBLIC into a studio agnostic to scale and medium, producing everything from podcast series to public installations for institutions including the Guggenheim, the Met, MoMA, the Whitney, The Brooklyn Museum, The Studio Museum in Harlem and The Rubin Museum, amongst others.
In this talk, Tania and Philip will share how they translate place, story, and sound into experiences that move fluidly from audio and recorded media into live, physical space. Drawing on projects like their work capturing the Guggenheim's architecture as an auditory experience for blind and low-vision visitors, and their Webby-honored podcast collaborations, they'll reflect on what it means to design for the ear as much as the eye, and how sound can make cultural spaces and stories more accessible, resonant, and public.
This event is free and open to the public.

Dawn Danby & David McConville // Planetary Repair, Shared Futures

Jacobs Institute for Design Innovation, Berkeley, United States
In person

Join us Tuesday, November 17 at 5:30 PM for a talk with Dawn Danby and David McConville, co-founders of Spherical, an integrative research and design studio working to regenerate the health and integrity of Earth’s living systems. Through design, research, and technology, Spherical explores how human systems are embedded within larger ecological, cultural, and planetary webs of relation, and how new forms of infrastructure might support reciprocal relationships with the living Earth. In this talk, Dawn and David will examine how climate action is often made politically viable through the language of infrastructure, and why that framing is both necessary and incomplete. Rather than treating infrastructure as a purely technical system, they will argue for a broader understanding that includes the nested scales, living relations, and more-than-human worlds that sustain life. Drawing on their work across ecological design, planetary systems, and media arts, they will explore how climate solutions demand new ways of seeing, mapping, and designing in relation to the Earth. Attendees will be invited to rethink infrastructure not simply as built form, but as a living scaffold for reciprocal care, repair, and transformation. This talk is open to the public and is for designers, researchers, students, and anyone interested in climate, systems thinking, and the role of design in shaping more livable futures. ....................
