Resynthesising the Traditional is an artistic lab which will host eight artists selected via open call for a weeklong exploration of the intersection of heritage, technology, and political imagination. The lab is co-hosted by composer and sound artist Susie Ibarra and sound researcher and artist Stas Shärifullá.

Inspired by »resynthesis«—a technique in computer music that deconstructs and reimagines sound—the lab invites participants to analyse and redefine cultural narratives while resisting the often reductive lenses of exoticism and mass-cultural stereotypes. By embracing tradition as a fluid and evolving process, the lab provides tools for technological, aesthetic, and sociopolitical transformation, pushing artists to challenge static perceptions of cultural heritage.

The lab will culminate in a public event on Sunday 2 February in radialsystem Halle, mixing presentations, performative inputs, and talks.
