Karen Willems is an artist and musician working with the aim of deeper connection and intimacy through music. During Listening Other·Wise, she will focus on nature as the greatest inspiration in her work. Together with Willems, we will experience the act of listening as an improvisation, going into a conversation with the sound of a glacier. Therefore, music is experienced as a communicative form that seeks dialogue and discourse in order to discover different perspectives on forms of listening.

Willems is also active in theatre, dance, and contemporary music productions, and has collaborated with Ultima Vez (Invited), ChampdAction (Hold Your Horses, Vokal Trakt), Platform K (Sculpture), Bl!ndman [drums] (Herman Kolgen – Train Fragments), Kopergietery (Buzz), and Antigone (Gemislukt).
