Hear Here takes you on a jour­ney through sound art in Leuven. Fifteen works of art about sound or silen­ce echo in remar­ka­ble heri­ta­ge pla­ces in Leuven. On the occa­si­on of KU Leuven’s 600^th bir­th­day, this year’s edi­ti­on turns the spot­lights on his­to­ric uni­ver­si­ty buil­dings. With a map in hand, you walk from an emp­ty school, past an impo­sing cha­pel, to a medie­val water gate. At each site, a sound instal­la­ti­on enters into dia­lo­gue with the acous­tics and archi­tec­tu­re. Historical works by gre­at sound pio­neers and new cre­a­ti­ons by Belgian artists are pre­sen­ted. So put on your wal­king shoes and expe­rien­ce Leuven’s heri­ta­ge with dif­fe­rent eyes and ears. Free of char­ge and for all ages.
