Tuesday, September 12 Voices To Be Heard: Stories and Objects from Memories Facilitator: Véronique Isabelle This workshop will help participants develop storytelling skills and techniques by sharing stories and memories. Participants will contribute by narrating stories and recording and gathering the stories of others. They will then organize and edit these stories to recreate another narrative, as a traveling experience in space and time in Fordlândia. Reciting examples of storytelling from other regions, participants will elaborate a cartography of Fordlândia, excavating memories of the region, including supernatural manifestations, important events, and highlights in the landscape that have created important narratives over time. Wednesday, September 13 Sound Territories : Creative Listening Workshop for Radio Facilitator: Gabriel Martinho The workshop provides an opportunity for collective sound study through capturing direct sound from various spaces and activities to exercise listening skills and determine environments for radio. From practical exercises involving listening, auditory memory, and imagination, participants will work together collectively to experiment with sonic aspects such as noise, silence, rhythm and voice. Together, they will produce sound fragments and discuss the possibilities of transmission in the live broadcast event. Gabriel Martinho was born in Rio de Janeiro. He graduated with a degree in Social Communications (FACHA, Brazil), and Documentary Film (University of Cinema Foundation, Buenos Aires). He is a musician and has developed a theoretical research as well as a practice in the field of sound, especially focused on the composition of sound landscapes in documentary films and experiences realized in public spaces. He has exhibited work at the International Congress of Aesthetics of Cinema (France), and was awarded best short film by the International Film Festival of El Palomar (EPA CINE) and by the RAFMA (Argentine Network of Festivals and Audiovisual Samples).
