I have been featured in the Facebook portal of MSCA as Marie Sklodowska Curie Individual Fellow of the week:

“Listen up! Sound artist and #MSCA IF fellow of the week Ximena Alarcón from Colombia develops the project INTIMAL at the University of Oslo. Ximena has a Deep Listening Certificate and practices Chi Kung, a form of body and mind energy practice with fluid and continuous movements. The body and mind experience with the sonic space, the intersection of sound art, music cognition, psychology, and human-computer interaction influence Ximena’s current research. She links socio-psychological experiences of migration and the reference to distant places through memory and dreams, with practices of networked sonic improvisatory performances and listening. Her case study focuses on Colombian post-conflict and peace building. Ximena works with Colombian migrant women in Europe to explore and test relational listening. Can listening to spoken word, expressing embodied feelings with the voice, and sharing these dynamically with others, be a potential act for healing and reconciliation?

Video invitation to MSCA prospective candidates Colombia

I offered a testimonial video about INTIMAL and my Marie Skłodowska-Curie Fellowship in the “Conferencia Latinoamericana y del Caribe para la Internacionalización de la Educación Superior” LACHEC 2017, which took place in Medellin, Colombia from November 21st to 23rd, 2017. The purpose of this video was to stimulate Colombian and Latin American candidates to apply for postdoctoral research opportunities anywhere in the world, where they could reach their research potential. It was streamed online during the event. This opportunity is open to all mid career researchers from any nationality. It is an honour for me to have received this award and thanks to it to be researching at the Department of Musicology at the University of Oslo. I encourage researchers from all over the world, and from all disciplines to apply. For information visit Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship.

Awarded a Marie Curie Fellowship 2017-2019

MarieCurieAward

I have been awarded by the European Commission a Marie Skłodowska Curie Individual Fellowship (MSCA) for the project INTIMAL: a novel physical-virtual ’embodied system’ for relational listening. I am very happy with this opportunity to learn about embodied cognition at the University of Oslo, and the different methods and musical approaches on sonification of body movement. As part of the celebration of MSCA 100000 fellows, who have received this prestigious award over the last 20 years, I have been invited with other 29 fellows to the awards ceremony in Brussels on Sept 26th and 27th. On the 26th, I will offer a short presentation of INTIMAL. We are joining the event ‘Science is Wonderful’ which showcases projects by MSCA fellows. The event is open to all!
