Our main aim is to provide a space for artists and researchers whose work addresses considerations including issues of power imbalance, the colonial fracture within systems of representation in art and culture, intersectionality, strategies of resistance, appropriation, reappropriation, retribution, utopias and parallel worlds.
In our previous season, we explored the sound medium with programs including music sets made to a creative brief, interviews with artists interspersed with original work and radiophonic performances. We commissioned new work, while also participating in the development of a creative sound storytelling methodology which tackles critical issues of power and resistance.

Among these is the audio collage, as a storytelling methodology that incorporates theory, affective sound effects, poetry and music to communicate across many points of access.
We believe that evolving discourses, research and theory should not reproduce hierarchical imbalance or privilege. We hoped that by working through and with radio and sound collage, to explore issues traditionally associated with written research, we could contribute to expanding the perimeters of knowledge creation.
We aim to create a listening space which will be both physical and immaterial, and as such seek to expand the exhibition space to its limits.
