un Magazine 19.1: Resonant Imaginaries maps non-Western sonic epistemologies across contemporary art practice, gathering voices that challenge how sound-based work is produced, heard, and theorised outside dominant Western frameworks.
About This Book
This issue of un Magazine takes sound as its organising question — not sound as ambient backdrop or aesthetic effect, but as a site of political and ancestral knowledge. Edited by Lucreccia Quintanilla, the volume assembles artists, writers, and practitioners whose work engages modes of listening that resist assimilation into Euro-centric critical discourse. The result is a publication alert to the polyrhythmic, the disruptive, and the intersectional: voices that work concurrently, clash, and refuse easy synthesis. For practitioners and thinkers invested in decolonial approaches to sonic and contemporary art, this issue is a substantive resource.
