Made you listen, a listening session by the Institute for Postnatural Studies
The Institute for Postnatural Studies is an art experimentation centre that was founded in Madrid in 2020 with the aim of exploring and problematising postnature as a framework for contemporary creation through publications, exhibitions and hybrid projects. At Libros Mutantes 2024, its members Gabriel Alonso, Yuri Tuma and Matteo Guarnaccia offer a listening session based on the concept of acoustic ecology. As they explain, acoustic ecology provides us with a basis for implementing new coexistence experiences that are built on actively listening to the voices of those around us, human and more-than-human, technological and organic sounds, imagined and real sounds. Made you listen invites us to navigate from sonic imagination from a dark space through meditation, theory and sound.

Lecture by Manuel Bürger: The Carrier Bag Theory of Design: Thoughts on archives, data, relations
The designer Manuel Bürger understands his profession from a social and experimental perspective. His projects approach visual communication from a narrative and conceptual standpoint, with an aversion to clichés and a preference for less-travelled paths. He works between Berlin and Paris, but on this occasion comes to Madrid to give a lecture at Libros Mutantes on the importance of data and archives in the practice of design.

Lecture by Carlos Llorente: Club Graphics Meetings
Club Graphics was founded in 2017 as an archive that visually collects the roots of club culture and electronic music in Spain. Its mission is to create a catalogue with the designs, aesthetics and trends of this cultural movement, respecting its essential values and expanding its history. The ultimate goal is to highlight the value of the work of the entire creative and artistic community that has remained in the shadows on a scene that has often been stigmatised. The art director and multidisciplinary creative Carlos Llorente, also the person behind the musical alias Blastto, will present the project.
