Listening Hotline

The Listening Hotline is an ongoing artistic and social project by Bureau for Listening. It presents listening as both a critical framework and a lived practice, unfolding through voice, attention, and presence. The hotline is not simply a channel for communication, but a space where listening itself becomes the work.

When calling the hotline, you enter a situation shaped by listening. You may be greeted by listening staff, choose to receive a brief pep-talk, listen to sound art, or remain in shared auditory space. Each call takes form through the caller’s pace, tone, and needs. The work exists in this exchange, momentary and relational. Please note, and outside of our openings hours we will be encounter a self-service listening hotline, offering several services in its menu.

The Listening Hotline operates between service and artwork, care and performance. It proposes listening as an active force that creates relation, invites reflection, and allows for pause in an environment shaped by speed and demand.

What does it mean to be listened to without expectation?
How does attention change when it is offered rather than requested?
Can listening become a form of collective care, or even a site of imagination?

The Listening Hotline invites these questions to be experienced rather than answered.
