In May/June 2024, American periodical cicadas — seven subspecies of Brood XIII and Brood XIX — will hatch simultaneously, a convergent phenomenon that occurs once every 221 years. The seven different species chorusing (each with a unique song) is an occasion to reflect on our interconnections with that which is other than human.

Calling All Ears Collective (CAEC) seeks to create a platform to feature the American cicada, where the practices of science and art can connect participants in this historic moment with a specific focus on cicada sound. As a growing entity, the collective is open to welcoming initiatives that cohabit with the broods.

In the quest for this unique bicentennial sound, one may ask: how do we listen to cicadas, but also how do they listen to us? Are we really listening deeply?

We ask potential contributors, participants, and the curious to provide us with a brief idea about how you see yourself or your group interacting with the Broods, XIII, and/or XIX.

Send your materials to Stephen Bradley (sbradley@umbc.edu) and Matthew Wolkow (matthew.wolkow@gmail.com) by or before May 7th, 2024. General inquiries are welcome. We will respond within a few days of your submission.
