Birgit Abels

Join Patrick Eisenlohr, an expert in sonic practices and ethnography, and Birgit Abels, an anthropologist with deep ties to Pacific cultures, as they dive into the concept of atmospheric knowledge. They explore how nonverbal and sonic experiences shape our connection to places. The duo discusses the significance of latency in understanding atmospheres, the role of sound in oceanic belonging, and how music serves as a medium for indigenous wisdom. Their insights bridge phenomenology, environment, and the emotive power of atmospheres.
