Music in Motion

Music in Motion: Music, Mobility and Citizenship explores the relationship between music and migration, focusing on how sonic practices narrate human movement and foster cross-cultural engagement.

In an increasingly interconnected yet turbulent world, marked by war, displacement, and the challenges of climate change, human mobility has become a defining feature of our time. Within this context, cultural practices emerge as vital means of connection, heritage preservation, and adaptation, offering pathways for both personal and collective resilience.

For this event the Faculty of Arts invited Professor Martin Stokes to shed his light on how making and listening to music creates space for alternative forms of citizenship. This is cooperation with VERA is initiated and supported by Middle East studies.
