Thich Nhat Hanh&#8217;s concept of interbeing, as expressed in<em> The Other Shore<\/em>, suggests that all things are interconnected, and by recognising this, we can overcome the illusion of separateness that fuels misunderstanding and division.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Exploring various forms of attunement and communication between humans and with non-human kin, the artists and their works become vessels for sounding\u2015to remember, to resist and to repair. Through the perspectives and positions of the artists, as witnesses, facilitators and guides, carers, diasporic individuals, we encounter histories, languages and lived experiences that refuse to be flattened or made invisible by dominant narratives or changing landscapes. Attending to the blindspots, noise and crevices in our urban lives and architecture, their works touch and stay with the spaces between and within bodies, embracing an ecological politics where movement and relation continuously reorient us beyond predetermined labels (Erin Manning, <em>Always More Than One: Individuation\u2019s Dance<\/em>).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As a highlight of the Singapore Night Festival, the artists of The Listening Biennial invite you to enter the space of Third Listening, to listen out for a plurality of life-forms as well as pathways of interconnection between seemingly irreconcilable differences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Participating Artists &amp; Creatives (Singapore Edition):<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel S.Y Chen with Wheelsmith and Sky Shen (Singapore), Chong Li-Chuan (Singapore), Chu Chu Yuan (Malaysia), cat cortes (Singapore), Nicky Dumapit (The Philippines), Hear &amp; Found (Singapore), Shwe Wutt Hmon (Myanmar), Lynn Nandar Htoo (Myanmar),&nbsp;Jade Johnson (UK), Jay Koh (Singapore\/Germany), Theophilus Kwek (Singapore), Chef Kuah Kai Wen (Singapore), Adeline Kueh (Singapore\/Malaysia), Okui Lala, Ana Estrada and Nasrikah (Malaysia\/Australia\/Indonesia), Terence Lau (Singapore), Isabelle Lim (Singapore), Grace Lee-Khoo (Singapore), Benedict Tay (Singapore), John McAuliffe (Ireland), Sanat Mehta (India), Mok Zining (Singapore), Aine Nakamura (US\/Japan), Natalia Tan (Singapore), Esther Vincent (Singapore), Susie Wong (Singapore), Superlative Futures (Singapore), Woo Yen Yen (Singapore) and alumni artists from LASALLE College of the Arts, Ana Osprey (Russia), Chok Si Xuan (Singapore), Lokman Mohamad (Singapore), Billie Sng (Singapore), Zheng Jialei (Singapore) and Danial Shafiq (Singapore) <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Ticketing<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.sg\/o\/the-listening-biennial-singapore-113944731641\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.sg\/o\/the-listening-biennial-singapore-113944731641\">eventbrite<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Artwork &amp; Programmes Catalogue<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/drive.google.com\/drive\/folders\/1VKbICvP9tJUEDbmBzLyC3FAM9FIMwZCW?usp=share_link\"><strong>Download<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-large-font-size\"><strong>Singapore Night Festival&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left has-medium-font-size\"><strong>Dates:<\/strong> 22 Aug &#8211; 6 Sep 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Various Locations<\/strong>: Tue to Sun &#8211; 7:30 PM to 11 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Closed on Mon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Except for Objectifs Centre for Photography and Film: 22 Aug &#8211; 28 Sep 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Tue &amp; Wed 12 PM &#8211; 7 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thurs &#8211; Sun 12 PM \u2013 10 PM<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Exhibition Locations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>42 Waterloo Street (42WS):<\/strong> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/listeningbiennial.net\/biennial-editions\/third-edition\">Listening Biennial Audio Exhibition<\/a> <\/strong>(various artists), including <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.sg\/e\/new-practices-for-tidal-attunement-art-installations-tickets-1553665107159?aff=odcleoeventsincollection\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.sg\/e\/new-practices-for-tidal-attunement-art-installations-tickets-1553665107159?aff=odcleoeventsincollection\">Superlative Futures<\/a> <\/strong>(Singapore), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.sg\/e\/my-tiny-space-interactive-art-installation-tickets-1533491226539?aff=odcleoeventsincollection\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.eventbrite.sg\/e\/my-tiny-space-interactive-art-installation-tickets-1533491226539?aff=odcleoeventsincollection\"><strong>Rachel S.Y.

Done together and despite exclusionary systems, Third Listening enables acts of speaking-with and embodied living ethics that support diverse abilities, thus holding the tension inherent to hospitality, where coexistence requires the continuous struggle, imagination, courage and protection. From contending with current polarisations to honouring the shared vitality of planetary life, such interstitial listening follows the pulse of a thick relationality that defines contemporary experience.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Listening Biennial LAB at LASALLE is a co-learning laboratory, inviting collective imagining of pathways to practise, transmit and carry the third within us. The LAB offers a dedicated space for audience agency: we are invited to respond to the Listening Biennial audio exhibition, which includes works by six LASALLE Fine Arts alumni, via narration, translation and alternative creative forms. Traces and responses recorded during the course of the LAB will be compiled and published as a glossary of Third Listening, which unfolds around three key themes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Social repair and restorative practices<\/strong>: considering communication and empathetic gaps within society<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Aural diversity and diversely abled positions<\/strong>: considering practices to further and deepen inclusiveness in our society<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ecological and planetary attunement<\/strong>: considering channels to develop ecological sensitivity to planetary sustainability<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Participating Artists<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rachel S.Y Chen with Wheelsmith and Sky Shen (Singapore), Chong Li-Chuan (Singapore), Chu Chu Yuan (Malaysia), Nicky Dumapit (The Philippines), Hear &amp; Found (Singapore), Jade Johnson (UK), Adeline Kueh (Singapore\/Malaysia), Okui Lala, Ana Estrada and Nasrikah (Malaysia\/Australia\/Indonesia), Terence Lau (Singapore), Isabelle Lim (Singapore), Grace Lee-Khoo (Singapore), Jill J.
