WORLD PREMIERE
A creative audio documentary exploring questions of voice and listening from scientific, artistic, philosophical and political perspectives.
Who – and what – do we deem capable of having a voice, and worthy of being listened to? And how does the way we listen affect our ability to hear the conversations that are going on around us? Samar Nasrullah Khan is philosopher whose work is focused on developing strategies for “listening to the other – the human, non-human, thing”. This creative documentary explores Samar’s work listening to, and with, cows, and the experiences which have shaped their fascination with ideas of voice.
The listening session will be followed by a dialogue and Q&A with Katie Revell and Yasmina Hamlawi
