What is 89?

A school? A lab? A playground? 89 is an experimental sound art learning community born out of the unique ecology of Struer—City of Sound, Denmark.
89 offers a radical alternative to the establishment of universities and art schools. It’s a space of knowledge and making where learning is lived; new learning spaces, programs, structures tested and allowed to thrive, and sound becomes a way of thinking, doing and being.

89 values hands-on experience, collaboration, and artistic autonomy. We believe in learning by doing, failing, experimenting, and questioning, and in cultivating a powerful agency among all stakeholders in order to create the programme relevant to you and the world.
