Sounds of Origin | bbymix. & Felipe Duarte

Sounds of Origin aims to bring back silence aka invisible (Columbia) aka Welto (Martinique) aka Om (India) aka Qi (China). This concept is a commonality across many ancient cultures who gave it different names but refers to the same thing. This is what we have been taught to ignore, or rather not taught to acknowledge, living in modernity in the West.

Nowadays, we are bombarded with so much noise on a day to day through various modes of media — information that does not belong to us but is rather imposed. What the West has rather adopted, as a basic ideology, is the one of noise—being attached to outcomes, in work, in relationships, in achieving, in the material. These attachments are necessary to keep current capitalist structures intact, with deep roots in colonial values.

Silence, the original thought, and our authentic selves must be reclaimed. Drawing from global traditions, Felipe and Alice will share tools to decolonise the self and live more authentically as individuals, as friends, and as members of society, but also fill critical gaps the West fails to acknowledge, but is necessary, for a sustainable, anti-colonial future.
