As We Leave The Window Open invites artists, musicians, writers, initiatives, and researchers to modulate a new experience on our online platform. Every contributor is given “carte blanche” and an opportunity to use our platform as an open or changing window for seven days. The rolling program of 52 contributions will be released in a steady rhythm – issuing a new window every week.

As We Leave The Window Open is a collaboration between Mohamed Almusibli, Jazmina Figueroa, Gerome Gadient, Tobias Koch, and Hannah Weinberger. As part of Liste's Expedition, we use sound as a device for experimentation and transmission.
