SOUNDING STRUCTURES is one of the programmatic perspectives of Rapid Art Force – RAF.

RAF is a mobile artistic collaboratorium with its own core philosophy and long-term artistic direction. Around this core, various artistic constellations, site-specific projects and evolving forms of collaboration are built.
In sounding structures, artists gather around listening, resonance, corporeality, spatial presence, and experimental forms of presentation.

This current ensemble of Soiviet structures will work from 28 July to 4 August 2025 in Northern Ostrobothnia as part of the broader artistic context of the Oulu2026 Capital of Culture year.

Current Sounding Structures lineup:
Katalin Karolyi
• Sound • Experimental presence • Dramatic resonance
Li-Chin Li
• Sheng • Architectures of Breath
Isabel Paladin
• Dance • Choreography • Field connections
Dora Pétery
• Musical objects • Keyboard instruments • Time travel
