These artworks address communication through voice and language and the interplay between hearing and listening (the vocal, the spoken) and seeing and reading (the visual, the written). Using collaboration and performance with field recording, digital imaging and the spoken/written word I am currently exploring an expanded approach to language within species and across species through a framework of everyday experience and the maladaptive, mixed and complex conditions that occur in our cities today. |

Quiet Urgency: Disturbing Sonic Ecologies 5-8 June 2024 The aim of this week is to bring together colleagues engaged in conceptualising, planning, performing and designing sonic ecologies, to reflect critically on this concept and how it might be translated into city-making practice. It takes place in the context of the 20th anniversary of the Sounder City strategy, the Mayor’s Ambient Noise Strategy for London – which still stands as the main policy document dealing with qualitative aspects of soundscape – and will aim to produce speculative policy interventions to update the strategy for the current moment. |

| Inhabitants Online exhibition as part of (Un) Common Worlds III Oulu Finland curated by Ang Bartram A Silence of Storks by Steve Baker and Catherine Clover A Silence of Storks is drawn from our larger collaborative project Storks and Cities. Steve works primarily with photography, and Cath works primarily with sound and text. Collaboratively we try to give concise but not literal expression to our experience of how humans and storks simultaneously inhabit the sonic and visual cityscapes in which we have observed them. A silence of storks is one of the collective terms for a group of storks |
