SONIC TERRITORIES Festival, founded in 2018, explores the intersection of sound, audiovisual, and transdisciplinary art, offering a platform for experimental and innovative sonic practices. Hosted primarily in Vienna’s urban peripheries, including Seestadt and other decentralized venues, the festival invites artists and audiences to engage with sound as a medium for sensory, emotional, and intellectual exploration.
SONIC TERRITORIES Festival showcases a broad spectrum of experimental sound practices – from immersive A/V performance and site-specific installation to DIY electronics, sonic fiction, and critical listening formats. Emphasising feminist and decolonial perspectives, the festival fosters a dynamic platform for local and international collaboration, with each edition featuring labs and workshops that expand the field of sonic and performative practice.
Since 2018, SONIC TERRITORIES Festival has presented more than 200 emerging artists from Austria and across the globe, including Electric Indigo (AT), Rojin Sharafi (IR/AT), Zoë Mc Pherson & Alessandra Leone (FR/IR/IT), SØS Gunver Ryberg & Sybil Montet (DK/FR), Antonina Nowacka (PL), Asuna (JP), Angry Blackmen (US), Zbigniew Chojnacki (PL), Isabella Forciniti (IT), Evita Manji (GR), Kenji Araki (AT), Aho Ssan (FR) and Renick Bell (US/TW).
