[finisˈtɛrra] is the mythology of a place that evokes the end of the world. It’s also the name of this research project, which uses listening as a tool to imagine what will exist beyond that end. Believing in futures of inclusive narratives, where the human does not occupy the central narrative, and through a speculative and interdisciplinary approach, [finisˈtɛrra] Practices and Theories for an End of the World summons practices and theories to enunciate possible “futures of the future”.

Sara Vieira Marques and Santiago Rodriguez Tricot developed the practice “Undoing Listening” during an artist residency hosted at Lafões Cult Lac by Binaural Nodar – Associação Cultural. By using sound as an installation device, the artists set out to explore the performative ambiguity of listening and seeing.
