Ultra-red: A Journal of Militant Sound Inquiry – Vol. 1 – Naming the Moment

For their thirtieth anniversary, Ultra-red, the international sound art and popular education collective is releasing the first volume of Ultra-red: A Journal of Militant Sound Inquiry, investigating movement-based listening practices that take the forms of militant inquiry and political education. The Ultra-red journal connects local struggles across contexts, publishing dispatches from ongoing militant investigations in London, Los Angeles, and in prisons in the U.S. South. The journal also introduces reflections on the problems of militant sound inquiry through poetry, book responses, letters, and visual art. In the words of Ultra-red, “No movement without listening!”

The initial issue of Ultra-red examines “conjunctural analysis,” or “naming the moment,” as a practice of collective inquiry. It includes contributions by Tony Carfello, Janna Graham, Museo de la Palabra y la Imagen, Chris Jones, Karla, Elliot Perkins, Daniela Lieja Quintanar, and Robert Sember. [publishers’ note]
