Join us for an Ear-Cleaning Tour with Carmen Papalia tomorrow Friday, Nov. 15 at 2pm or 4pm. Meet in the Cullman Mezzanine to sign up!

Ear cleaning is the practice of gaining awareness of the state of a soundscape by temporarily plugging the ears before listening. During these ear cleaning tours, artist Carmen Papalia leads a group of participants who are wearing earplugs to a number of noticeably different acoustic environments. Tour participants only remove their earplugs once they have reached a scheduled destination—at which point they will be lead through focused listening exercises.
