Dedicated to sound and listening, the Triennale creates a space for a wide range of sonic practices without restricting them by institutional boundaries. Over the course of two months, Rites of Eternal Wind will host sound installations and live events, listening sessions and soundwalks, hybrid lectures, discussions and workshops, somatic performances and explorations of sonic environments where sound is absent or even impossible.

The project centers on the relationship between sound and wind as physical, cultural, and metaphorical phenomena. The curators — Anuar Duisenbinov (Kazakhstan), Madina Sadybekova (Kazakhstan), and Stas Sharifulla (Switzerland) — propose to approach wind as an acoustic medium, a force that resists control, and a mode of presence that manifests even through the absence of sound.
