Nefeli invites participants to their first open meeting of their collective, where they will share practices, explore improvisation, listen, discuss, and reflect on their creative processes. As the meeting is participatory, attendees are welcome to bring a self-powered and self-amplified sounding object they would like to explore. Participants are free to make sound or embrace silence at will.
Nefeli are an improvisation collective composed of women sound artists and musicians, brought together by a shared desire to experiment within a space created by and for themselves. The collective was initiated through the research project of one of its members, which explores how women sound artists cultivate solidarity, community, mutual support, and knowledge exchange through self-organized artistic practices, while also examining the creative processes that shape this work.
Their meetings function as dynamic and open spaces in which each participant contributes her knowledge, background, and artistic identity, experimenting collectively with sound, technology, improvisation, and embodied practices. Their sound emerges from the interplay of processes, moments, emotions, thoughts, and relationships that develop within these encounters.
They envision the collective as fluid and evolving: new members may join, constellations may shift, and the group continues to be shaped by those who participate and what they bring.
