The Bureau for Listening proudly presents Anthology for Listening Vol. II, a transdisciplinary and experimental collection of critical and artistic engagements with listening as both a practice and a way of being. This second volume extends an invitation to engage deeply with the transformative, creative, and political dimensions of listening across diverse mediums and perspectives.

Featuring contributions from an extensive roster of international thinkers, artists, and practitioners, Anthology for Listening Vol. II examines listening as more than an act of hearing. It positions listening as an expansive process that navigates silence, sound, memory, and embodiment to cultivate care, foster connections, and challenge existing paradigms. 

The anthology offers a printed, online, and live format, reflecting the diverse modes of engagement with listening explored within its pages. Contributions range from poetic and theoretical reflections to sonic practices and methodologies, to reportages, performance documentation, scores and notes, fostering a dialogue that traverses disciplines and boundaries. 

Notably, the layout and design of Anthology for Listening Vol. II have been meticulously crafted by Linn Henrichson, whose approach enhances the tactile and visual engagement with the text, further enriching the reader’s interaction with the work. 
As an artists’ book, Anthology for Listening Vol. II invites readers to approach it as a standalone work of art, while also serving as a platform for collaboration and exploration. The anthology resists conventional definitions, instead operating as a dynamic and evolving container for diverse approaches to listening.
The Bureau for Listening invites you to experience this unique publication, whether through its printed form, its online presence, or its live engagements. Together, these elements offer an expansive and multifaceted exploration of what it means to listen and to be listened to.
