The sculpture Listen is a work of art by Camilla Akraka located at Rådhustorget in Umeå. The artwork features a cat-like creature sitting on a three-meter-high platform. The animal's body is made of polyester composite and painted with a hard, reddish lacquer. The open gap, depicted as a roar, is painted with a golden bronze alloy.
In 2018, Umeå kommun's kulturnämnd decided to announce a public tender for a public artwork. Three artists were asked to submit proposals. Following a selection process, Camilla Akraka's proposal was chosen.
