Abstract

<p class="intro">In this episode we travel to the Vietnamese capital of Hanoi and dive into its diverse sounds, noises, and artistic practices. We visit three female sound artists who talk about listening despite noise pollution, changing soundscapes through the past decades, how they collaborate with their peers, and how they cope with ongoing gender inequalities.</p>\n<p><strong>Producer’s Note</strong></p>\n<p>What does it mean to be a part of a community? A citizen of a city? Can the streets mimic our veins? Can the coursing thoroughfares inflate as our lungs might, heaving in the rarefied schemata the alleys and overpasses trace?</p>\n<p>And what of the city’s pulse, the urban throb, the endless effusive clash of chaotic purity – can the indefatigable wash of noise alter our perception, or indeed, shape our ability to perceive? And what of the layers beyond that – the food, the songs, the sayings, the spices, the incense burning in the pagodas, the fish rotting on the shores of the lake, the uncles laughing and smiling, the meanings buried in simple actions.</p>\n<p>Can we define an essence that allows us to explain what our city means to us? Can we distill it? Should we?</p>\n<p>Hanoi has been shaped by waves of culture, the ripples are still ebbing back and forth as the water is yet to clear. Beneath the surface strong undercurrents play and dance, drawing the daring deeper into its surfeit of heart.</p>\n<p>In this podcast episode, you will hear from three cultural creators who call this grumbling behemoth their home. What drives them? What moves them? What power do they draw from this shining capital, perched amidst lakes and mountainous regions, filled with hope and eager to alter expectations?</p>\n
