Exploring the Architecture of Listening

Ernesto Pujol (The Listening School/The Listeners)

As a social choreographer, Ernesto Pujol speaks of his cultural field practice as based on a methodology of vulnerability that triggers trust as the foundation for decolonizing and grounding public art. This three-hour immersive workshop is based on the basic training that Pujol provides his listener performers. It commences with a personal presentation on what the artist calls the intimate architecture of listening, followed by a group exercise that elicits individual listening memories, inviting sensitive participant interaction and culminating in a final moment of shared experiences.

Open to Penn faculty, students and staff. Green Penn Open Pass and face mask required. Space is limited and we ask registered participants to let us know 48 hours in advance if they are no longer able to attend.

This experiential workshop will be preceded by the talk “Learning to Listen in Troubled Times: Ernesto Pujol and Aaron Levy” hosted both online and in person for Penn faculty, students, and staff.

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish

Polarization and the Media in American Politics: A Conversation with Michael Smerconish Michael Smerconish is one of the nation’s most visible media personalities, with a daily radio show on Sirius/XM and a Saturday CNN show. He also provides analysis on CNN for big events, writes columns and books, and more. Maybe most uniquely: Michael is one of the few voices in the media who can’t be pigeonholed ideologically. He’ll be fielding questions on what it’s like to be somewhere in the center in our increasingly ideological media, how the media shapes our politics, what we can do to build a media that better serves the public, and whether prominent figures should be blacklisted from the media if they can’t tell the truth. We’ll also cover the state of politics and whether our two party system is capable of representing Americans like him in 2023. Michael will also field questions from the audience.Learn More
