Somatic Laboratory — Latinx Memories ✨ Activism · Care · Social Justice · Access ✨ Rooted in intersectional, anti-discriminatory and decolonial practices, Somatic Laboratory — Latinx Memories* is a political-pedagogical project that develops critical approaches to somatics and supports individual and collective wellbeing for *Latinx communities in the Netherlands, with a special focus on people living in asylum-seeker centres.  This series brings together movement, embodied inquiry and collective pedagogy to explore displacement, embodied memory, care and transformative practices — privileging openness to questions rather than fixed positions.  In this cycle: • Paula Montecinos Oliva in conversation with French philosopher & dancer Marie Bardet — on displacement, embodied knowledge and critical pedagogy. @la___monte @marie_bardet • Flavia Pinheiro & Paula Montecinos Oliva in dialogue with artists Emma Biggé and Marcela Corvalán — @mmarcelasc reflecting on ecosomatic practices and their role in shaping possible futures.  Organised within the ATD / THIRD research context (with collaborators such as Alejandra Ortiz @alejandraortiz_mex and Papaya Kuir) @papaya_kuir the lab includes bilingual open sessions, workshops and community dinners — creating conditions for re-existence, re-organization and collective transformation.  /

𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗶𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻: 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗮𝗯 – 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘅 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘉𝘪𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘶𝘢𝘭 𝘖𝘱𝘦𝘯 𝘚𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘞𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘱 Location: ATD Grootlab Date: 7th June Time: 13:00 – 17:00 Followed by a shared community dinner 𝗦𝗼𝗺𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗟𝗮𝗯 – 𝗟𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝘅 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗲𝘀 warmly invites you to a special open session, welcoming participants of the regular lab alongside a broader community of practitioners, artists, researchers, of ATD and members of the LGBTQ+ and migrant communities. Rooted in an intersectional and collaborative pedagogy, the lab centers the lived experiences of Latinx migrants and asylum seekers in the Netherlands. It approaches the politics of care, migration, and embodied memory through an eco-somatic lens. This session offers a space to reconnect with our bodies as vessels of memory, resistance, and collective knowledge. Through hands-on practices involving touch, movement, voice, and sound, we will explore how stories—both personal and communal—are embedded within us, emerging through the body as pathways to regenerate, re-imagine and transform. Facilitated by 𝗙𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗮 𝗣𝗶𝗻𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿𝗼, 𝗣𝗮𝘂𝗹𝗮 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗼𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝗷𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗿𝗮 𝗢𝗿𝘁𝗶𝘇, this bilingual workshop creates a welcoming space for listening, remembering, and co-creating stories beyond words. No prior experience is required, and all bodies and backgrounds are welcome. We will conclude the session with a shared dinner—a moment to gather, reflect, and continue the conversation. Bring comfortable clothes to move, sweat and lay down. Project made possible with the support of Fonds for Cultural Participation

Post-Festival greetings with post-festival bliss to you all. On our server alone 4588 eople tuned in! Here is a short reel of our first day of live performances at the Institute of Sonology. Everyone played really well! @ruben.dijkstal_ made the reel. @talnitzan11 @musica.nova.tlv @raimundengelhardt @divineshark @soheilsoheilidotcom @la___monte #festival #artradio #soundart #liveradio #community #weloveyou

Closing our live program on Saturday will be Paula Montecinos Oliva, who very fittingly sent us a picture in our festival colours 🙂 We can't wait to hear you. "Sonic Feminist Fabulations (SFF) is a live radio performance that explores the poetics and politics of displacement and diasporic (ecological) memories. Conceived as a long-form research platform, it responds to radio’s unique ability to stretch and compress spacetime, connecting with invisible listeners across perception thresholds. Through live performances, experimental electronic music, archival recordings, and digital/analog media interplay, SFF bridges proximity and distance, offering vibrational experiences for both in-situ and remote audiences. For this upcoming edition of Onsite- OnAir Festival, I would like to propose a live electronics performance that invites us to engage with the spatial, affective and material conditions of listening through a site-responsive sonic installation/sculptural format. By working with electromagnetic fields, radio waves, organic materials, and bodily memory, I will explore how the haptic-acoustic qualities of sound can contribute to reorient reception and transmission as a relational and non-linear embodied act. Following physical responses to noise and altered spatial perception, this performance explores sound as a tangible, somatic, and speculative form, expanding into sonic-political imagination & facilitating an exchange between cellular and non-cellular bodies. It raises questions such as: What does it mean for resonant materials to exist in a flesh-to-flesh (membranic) relationship? How do these intra-actions reshape perception, presence, and agency? And how sonic-spatial imagination can extend into the creation of social sculptures that influence collective listening and emancipatory knowledge?" #liveradio #liveperformance #displacement #ecology

The third edition of @sound_arguments will start soon. Let’s meet some of the twenty-five multidisciplinary sound practitioners who will be together throughout four months of activities! Paula Montecinos Oliva (CL) @la___monte is an artist and researcher based in the Netherlands. With a background in choreography, somatic education, and sound art, she explores body-haptics and the intersections of agency, memory, and collectivity. Her transdisciplinary practice spans live electronic performance, experimental vocals, radio broadcasts, and immersive sonic choreography, investigating frequency, resonance, and latency as spatiotemporal materials that shape experience. She engages in experimental luthiery, handcrafting lo-fi devices, antennas, synthesizers, microphones, and speaker-instruments to research electromagnetic fields, spatialized sound, and the politics of noise. In recent years, she has deepened her inquiry into listening as an emancipatory and fabulative experience, focusing on frequencies that move the body and within it. She initiated Sonic Feminist Fabulations (SFF), a research platform that through performative radio broadcasts, aims to foster long-form collaborations and disrupt linear-colonial narratives through sonic practice. Her work has been presented internationally at venues such as Worm (NL), Tsunami Editorial (CL), Sonic Matter Festival (CH), Transmediale (DE), Sonic Acts - Night Air (NL) & HKW (DE). paulamonte.net
