The unfolding global pandemic has triggered an existential reckoning over our conceptions of place and human encounter. The escalating political, economic, environmental, and public health crisis has revealed a tenuous, yet insistent desire for connectivity across space and time.

Translocality seeks to unite human and nonhuman communities in the Bay Area socially, physically, and sonically as a living network of sentient beings. This open call invites applicants to propose soundscapes to activate sound art in Bay Area locations to:

- Recalibrate our sensitivity to living realities existing beyond the individual self
- Connect us to the complex weaving of stories, histories, and ecologies of place
- Investigate vestiges of memory materialized through objects, land, and architecture
- Imagine future possibilities for collective transformation in the SF Bay Area
