Voicing Places – Sonic Incarnations of Situated Knowledge (curated by Messy Sensing)

“Voicing Places is a platform for artistic research amplifying embodied, community-based
reflections on listening and aural practices. We operate in the space where critical sound
studies, sonic journalism, soundmaking, and soundwalking echo and resonate with each other.

Our starting point is the fundamental instability of practice. Sensing is inherently messy; being in a body and relating to a site is an unstable process. We believe our sonic practices must address this directly, embracing the muddy, shifting ground on which we stand.

We propose investigating sites in ways that intentionally straddle the discursive and the sensory from start to end. This involves enacting sound art practices while inhabiting our bodies as we walk, voice and listen, exploring the production of sites and subjects.

Our approach is phenomenological, akin to sensory ethnography, attuned to how the political affects of today leak into our ways of being. We connect to the different, often conflicting, aspects of a place – its historical layers, social dynamics, political contours, and the tensions
between the imaginary and the real.”
