Slow Light – Seeking Darkness

by Zahra Mani



  • Zahra Mani interview with Anna Soucek


  • Slow Light—Seeking Darkness is an artistic, cultural and ecological initiative inviting artists and cultural actors to participate in an interdisciplinary engagement with the need for darkness. It was initiated by Karin Schorm and Zahra Mani, in collaboration with the Klanghaus Untergreith. For Kunstradio, Mani composed a radio piece out of soundscapes and some of the acoustic material developed for the project from artists such as Viv Corringham, Lydia Lunch, Isabelle Duthoit, and Tamara Obrovac, an “acoustic darkscape” as Zahra Mani puts it.

    “Slow Light—Seeking Darkness was developed by Klanghaus Untergreith and was selected by the Kärntner Kulturstiftung – the Carinthian Cultural Foundation – as one of four winning projects in the context of their first Austria-wide public call. We are also grateful for the support of the Austrian Federal Ministry for Art, Culture, Civil Service and Sport and the State of Carinthia.

    Project partners in Carinthia, Styria, Slovenia, Italy and Istria invite artists to reflect on various different aspects of the significance of darkness in new works developed in the context of Slow Light – Seeking Darkness. The partner locations demonstrate the diversity of the Alps-Adriatic landscape. The project is accompanied by a number of radio partners, particularly Radio Agora, a multi-lingual free radio station based in the region.

    Slow Light – Seeking Darkness is dedicated to cultural education and outreach. Through CHIP – cultural hybrid interactive platform – the senior school St. Martin in Villach, Carinthia, will implement pilot projects with students, exploring interdisciplinary aspects of darkness in a hybrid digital space.”

    „Slow Light – Seeking Darkness“ wird von der Kärntner Kulturstiftung, sowie vom BMKOES, vom Land Kärnten und von der Alpen-Adria Allianz unterstützt.

    The "Slow Light" book premiere and presentation of "CHIP - cultural hybrid interactive platform" takes place on Wednesday, November 30, 2022 at 7 pm, at Villa for Forest in Klagenfurt.
