Bojan Adamič

Born in 1912 in Ribnica, Slovenia, this artist emerged from a rich regional culture with a lifelong focus on sound as a field of study and expression. Their early work drew on local landscapes, folk traditions, and evolving technologies, shaping an approach that emphasizes listening as a core practice. Throughout a career spanning several decades, they engaged with communities and institutions to explore acoustic phenomena, recording processes, and the social dimensions of sound. Quietly persistent, they navigated changes in media and pedagogy, contributing to the discourse surrounding auditory perception, materiality, and the ways sound can reflect memory and place. Their trajectory remains rooted in curiosity, craft, and a commitment to listening firsthand.
