Space21 is for promoting contemporary music, experimental, electronics, noise, free improvisation, and sound art in Kurdistan. Since 2017, Space21 has organised sound exhibitions and concerts in Slemani, presenting works by national and international artists in public spaces. Space21’s vision is to promote sound art for audiences by using public spaces as an artistic arena. Moreover, Space21’s goal is to explore new perspectives on the culture of everyday life through sound. By focusing on listening, Space21 aims to open possibilities for audiences to have new experiences of the places where they live and work, nurturing new understandings of modern society and its struggles.
