Project summary

“UNITING OUR VOICES” illustrates how powerful individuals and communities can be when they support one another — and that democracy is only as strong as those who stand up for it. For some time now, our daily lives have been shaped by a sense of uncertainty. The end of the global pandemic, which many hoped would bring relief, was instead followed by the unexpected collapse of the shared truths that once bound our societies together. However, envisioning dystopian scenarios is not constructive. In times like these, we must focus on different stories — stories that place solidarity, cooperation, freedom of expression, and mutual support at their center. Coming together, with united voices, to strengthen democracy for all.

Artist

Kris Kuldkepp

Biography: Kris Kuldkepp is an experimental musician and performance artist originally from Estonia, currently based in Hamburg, Germany. Kris' work investigates the perception, materiality, and behavior of sound, emphasizing its resonance within physical spaces. With a background in classical and early music performance on the double bass, Kris now works with experimental practices that incorporate improvisation, deep listening, and a focus on singular sounds and noise. The resulting sonic works are characterized by the interplay of string basses, modular synthesizers, found objects, field recordings, and live electronics, realized through live performances, installations, and music theater works. Kris has given lectures and workshops across Europe on topics such as spatial sound and improvisation.
