Border Soundscapes is a project that arises from the need to explore the field of Sound Studies from a perspective of rhetoric and its intersection with philosophical postures that comes from the aesthetics, logic, and ethics of sound. Our wide-open laboratory is located on the border between Mexico and the United States, specifically in the sister cities Ciudad Juárez, Chihuahua, and El Paso, Texas.
As an initiative focused on cultural heritage through sounds, this project seeks to become a platform where the sounds that characterize the Paso del Norte region are housed. We firmly believe that, over time, our contribution will benefit future generations of the community as a reinforcer of knowledge of their history.
We have been taught to learn through the image and the written word through the years, but rarely to use our hearing. To improve our literacy experience, Border Soundscapes arises to position itself as a platform that seeks to nourish itself constantly with the region's sounds and its reflection behind each acoustic ecology.
