silence matters is an international interdisciplinary performance and exhibition project which explores the increasing interest in mindfulness and awareness in our society artistically and academically. The aim of this project is to create a special experience and increase the visibility of issues surrounding research into mindfulness and awareness on the basis of contemporary artistic positions form the fields of performance, sculpture, sound and drawing.

silence matters challenges our individual perception, our awareness and experience of time in order to redirect our attention to momentary details and individual experiences.

National and international artistic positions from different disciplines will be developed, produced and presented in various performance and exhibition formats. The project’s mission is to connect these expanding fields of interest and to allow new things to emerge from unconventional contexts.
