“Listening Lounge”
Featuring Artist Project Group (APG) & Aalborg Artist’s Association (AAAA)
S for Sound, S for Solidarity: Listening Lounge is a double feature collective listening session of the two new episodes of S for Sound, S for Solidarity - episode 4 with Aalborg Artist’s Association (AAAA), and episode 5 with Artist Project Group (APG) as they are premiered on Radio Alhara.
Drawing from The Collective Voice, an experimental vocal workshop hosted by Aalborg Artist’s Association (AAAA) at Håndværkerhuset in October 2025, the fourth episode of S for Sound, S for Solidarity presents a remixed montage of voices by local artists and art workers from Aalborg, Denmark.
In the fifth episode of S for Sound, S for Solidarity the Vienna based Artist Project Group (APG) sonically unfold various social, economic, and political possibilities for artists to engage institutions differently via their experimental practice as an “artist consultancy agency”. Through interviews, discussion, testimonies, and sound bites from artists who have operated within their consultancy infrastructure, APG suggests “artists have the answers”. APG sets this broader narrative to a soundtrack of Aalborg’s local music scene as a contextual connection to their previous artist consultancy work in Northern Denmark. This includes their 2019 project Aalborg Anti-Artwashing Agreement (AAAA), which later helped motivate the establishment of the Aalborg Artists Association (AAAA).
