Porto Resounds: Sound, Space and Change
<p>Episode 23 of the <em>TIMEZONES</em> podcast series comes from Porto and is an introspection on how the current social and political climate shapes, and gets shaped by, the way we listen to the city. Produced by Sandra Pereira aka Narsadia, the episode listens through the ears of sound artists, experimental musicians and electroacoustic composers, collectives and curators, as well as the cultural spaces, venues and communities that keep them going.</p> <p>In 2026, Porto’s soundscape is caught between continuity and change. Tourism, rising rents, and waves of new residents are altering its cultural rhythms, challenging artists and curators to find spaces, audiences, and support for their work. Is Porto’s sonic identity being lost, renewed, or rewritten? Through these conversations, we explore the delicate interplay between memory, place, people, and sound in a city at the crossroads.</p>
