Youth at Sea Projects – the Mangroves Expedition
A
scientific collaboration

en mer socio-educational program will be supported by a research initiative
conducted in collaboration with the Faculty of Psychology and Educational

Tuning In : Acoustics of Tuning in : Emotion, Sound Archives, and Contemporary Aesthetics
Born from the exhibition Tuning In—Acoustique de
l’émotion held between October 3, 2024, to August 24, 2025, at the
International Red Cross and Red Crescent Museum, this volume explores the voice
as a fragile yet powerful space where memory, emotion, and humanitarian praxis
converge.
Extending the exhibition beyond its physical space, this
volume offers a meditation on the affective depth of sound through
contributions that intertwine scholarship, curatorial reflection, and artistic
practice. The book opens a contemplative journey into politics and poetics of
sound and voice—and to consider listening as both an ethical stance and a form
of care.
The book
includes texts by Prof Didier Grandjean and Dr Manuela Filippa.
