Program
In 2026, OTO Sound Museum deepens its commitment to experimental artistic practices that work with and through sound in public and digital spaces. Building on long-term engagement with Zurich’s historic Zeughausareal, artists are invited to resound the former arsenal. Three site-based artistic interventions, grounded in rituality and attunement, will activate the space, engaging with the transformation of its memory through sonic rites, performative and temporary installations. Simultaneously, four new online sound exhibitions contribute to expanding the growing field of sonic art practices on the digital platform, continuing to create new bridges among listeners across geographies. This curatorial vision seeks to provoke moments in which listening becomes a form of care and an invitation to slow down, while sonority becomes a catalyst for activation and connection.
The 2026 program is curated by the members of the Zaira Oram collective: Francesca Brusa, Francesca Ceccherini, and Camille Regli.
