Sounding the Voices

Sounding The Voices scores collaborative exchanges between six women with lived experience of challenging histories. A textured ‘poem’ of listening and learning, it proposes an accumulating ‘call and response’. How might we ‘sound’ the space between our pasts and presents, personally and collectively, to shape futures resisting complacency and despair, and in doing so, offering a 'being, otherwise'?

A day of screenings, conversation, and reflection on the role of artists’ films in reframing trauma narratives. Survivor artists and activists explore, question, challenge, and reimagine trauma – both individual and collective – and create a space for a new discourse to emerge.

The programme includes work from Julie-Yara Atz, Laura E. Fischer, Andrea Luka Zimmerman alongside shorts by Ashley Karrell & Isaac Ouro-Gnao and Julian Triandafyllou and special previews of new films by Mania Akbari and Kamila Kuc.

Curated by Laura E. Fischer (Traumascapes) with Andrea Luka Zimmerman.
Facilitated by Julie-Yara Atz, Sullivan Holderbach, and Jessa Benson Thorpe from Traumascapes.
