Jendela Sonorama is a communal listening and lecture-performance series developed in 2020 by Ariel Orah and Pedro Oliveira in collaboration with LK_W and Soydivision. In each session we host and present listening as a form of collective sharing and learning. Starting from but not constrained to our own personal record collections and research interests, we unpack affective sonic histories that deal, subtly or not, with the (often violent) devices, legacies, and complexities of colonialism. By understanding record collections as historical documents of a specific snippet of one’s own identity, the sessions become improvised collages between existing material – songs and field recordings – and improvised, real-time creation responding to these materials. With that, it also blurs the idea of new music performance and DJ set, rejecting any well-defined point of entry or exit.

The goal of the sessions is to question the very idea of a “national identity”, establishing a plural and multifaceted South-South dialogue. The series debuted in September 2020 and had six editions so far. We started from the specifics of Portuguese colonialism in Indonesia and Brazil (where we come from) but moved more towards the complexities of diasporic identities, melancholia, activism, and the dream of a “post-migration” world
