Suonabene is a project focused on the sound crossing of Benevento, a town located in the Apennines of South Italy, in the Sannio region, a place of enormous cultural and historical layering and rich in important monuments since pre-Roman age.
This project, referred to secondary school students of the “Liceo G.B. De La Salle” of Benevento, took place from 2011 to 2013 and was based on the idea that the sound exploration of the places in the town, with a multidisciplinary perspective involving other subjects as architecture, history, philosophy, literature, can help students to re-discover with a new approach the places where they live.
This multidisciplinary method is sustained by the use of different tools and media: sound, moving image, photography, social media (Twitter, Facebook), with the aim of hybridizing the disciplinary contents learned by students during their course of studies with innovative methods and perspectives that are appropriate for analyzing and narrating contents and stories which connect traditions and modernity, local and global culture, old and new technologies.
The students have been guided to this exploration through following a storytelling approach in which legends and stories are blended together, as a narrative work of deconstruction and rewriting of perception of the places in the town.
