To mark The Ungoverned, this weekend’s online iteration of Wysing Polyphonic, the annual music festival from friends of Somerset House Studios Wysing Arts Centre, this week’s Deep Listen revisits a podcast recorded onsite at last year’s festival, guest curated by the Studios team.
With contributions from Annie Goh and Natalie Hyacinth (Sonic Cyberfeminisms), Emma Smith, Ziúr, Roy Claire Potter and NSDOS, we hear the artists discuss explore the idea of silence and how this can be disrupted, interjected or accepted in progressive ways, using an excerpt of Audre Lorde’s seminal text Your Silence Will Not Protect You as a jumping off point for artistic discussion.
