Breathing Traces. A workshop in Sonic Migrations by Ximena Alarcón

Derived from my work in Sonic Migrations, participants will explore individually and collectively questions and rituals that I have developed over the years, through voice, breathing, multilingual spoken word, and movement improvisation. On the second day participants will be invited to create their own listening exercises to compose their own rituals in Sonic Migrations. Breathing is proposed as the listening path to distill the weight of migration narratives we are holding and meet their essence as an unconscious dream. 

Dates: 
30 October 2025, at 10:00–15:00

Dr. Ximena Alarcón is a sound artist and researcher exploring sonic migrations – the sensory experiences of crossing borders through sound and listening. She creates telematic improvisations and interfaces for relational listening, and composes hybrid listening rituals with trained and untrained musicians.

She holds a PhD in Music Technology and is a certified Deep Listening® tutor. Her key projects include Sounding Underground, Networked Migrations, and INTIMAL, which led to the creation of the INTIMAL App© for exploring migratory journeys through sound.

Ximena teaches Deep Listening® and leads the Intimal collective, supporting Latin American migrant women in listening to their migrations and reimagining femininity, territory, and care.
