Profile

[Sound & Word Network]
The Sound & Word Network is made up of sound artists (composers, performers, DJs, improvisers, etc.) and word artists (writers, poets, visual artists who use text, etc.). Founded in the summer of 2020 by composer Francesca Leroy and writer Charlotte Wueller, the network aims to foster new networks and intercultural exchanges among creators. Through collaborative projects, Sound & Word Network members explore new ways of connecting sound and words.
