When the World Went Out of Tune with Itself traces feminist legacies in experimental electronic soundtracks. Anchored in the groundbreaking collaboration of Delia Derbyshire and Elsa Stansfield, the program explores the collaborative, technological, and ethical dimensions of audiovisual practices from the 1970s to today. Through research, workshops, interventions, and new commissions, it asks what it means to sample, borrow, respond to, or honor the sounds of others across time. How can artistic legacies be activated without being appropriated? And how can intergenerational dialogue shape new forms of collaborative practices for the future?
