2014
October 25th & 26th 2014 Stolen Voices, DIY#11 with the Live Art Development Agency, Sound & Music, Arts Bournemouth
Stolen Voices is about eavesdropping. It is about listening-in, or the way listening is always positioned in space and in time. It is about overhearing, or the stuff we add to everything we hear – the biases and associations that help us construct identities for those who surround us. Finally, it is about the (often uncomfortably) unstable border between private and public that we all negotiate by existing in common with others.
