Audible Futures is a roundtable bringing together architects, urbanists, and sonic practitioners to explore sound and listening as critical tools for advancing spatial justice. A dialogue between Lawrence Abu Hamdan, Ain Bailey, Nathalie Harb, Mhamad Safa, and Sumayya Vally, moderated by Gascia Ouzounian, considers how listening might expose structural inequalities, recover marginalised voices and urban histories, and reorient design practices.
The discussion engages with work that examines cities as sites of atmospheric occupation and vibrational warfare, traces the erasure of spaces of gathering, creativity, and belonging through gentrification and displacement, and explores the design of sonic refuge. Audible Futures proposes sonic practice not simply as a means of representing space, but as a method of spatial investigation, a form of political critique, and a catalyst for more just urban futures.
