    As many artists and scholars attest, listening is a transformative power that impacts onto processes of social recognition and mutuality. Stemming from the activities of The Listening Biennial, listening will be highlighted as a conduit for enabling recognition and mutuality that also moves beyond human worlds. Taking stock of listening’s power, we’ll consider listening as a special form of dreaming, as what delivers messages from other worlds, and that acts as a type of possession transforming what we know of ourselves. Through listening-dreaming, connections are made across bodies and worlds, things, and others.
