Image Description:
Multicolor foraging mushrooms burst out of the center of the Sound Scene: Connected poster for 2025. Patch cables and contact microphones from the audio world bloom in a root system below the mushrooms. The poster is hand drawn and says Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden below the mushroom root system.

✨🎧 What are you listening to this weekend? Where are you listening?

Do you hear the ocean? Songs? Commuter trains? Your heartbeat? Crickets?

Did you capture the sound? In memories, a field recorder, a tape loop?

Sound Scene returns to Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden June 22 & 23, 2024. Watch this space as we prepare our annual call for proposals over the next weeks! (First time artists should definitely apply.)

In the meantime, keep listening. ✨🎧
