Cotorradio is an artistic research project that tackle questions based on ecology, migration, more-than-human histories and the urban endeavor. In April 2021, it was hosted by Idensitat in Barcelona with the intention to seek for sounds of belonging – having the sound of tropical parakeets found in European cities as its centrality. A sound piece and a sound-walk came together after almost a month in the city.

The sound piece with the ensemble of sounds and voices recorded during the residency process brought together not only the sounds of the birds, but also of the queer and migrant community that hosted the artist. The sound-walk happened throughout the Besòs river length, departing from a nest of cotorras (parakeets in Spanish) on a palmtree – depicted in one of the photos above – leading to the river's estuary where a known cruising area is located.

In September 2021, in the context of the exhibition Què amaga aquest silenci?, where the sound piece was installed, a sound-walk bursting the recorded voices happened throughout the streets of Sant Andreu, the district of Barcelona where the project was hosted.
