Deadline Sunday 17th August – Apply now via Google Forms
Hounslow Exhibition Collective have been developing ideas around the topic of migration in relation to Hounslow’s diverse communities. Through these discussions, the topic of sound has come to the forefront. The group is keen to explore the medium of sound to answer larger questions:
- How can we actively listen to our communities to build trust and cultivate meaningful relationships?
- How can sound document, inspire and transport us to different times and places?
- What can sound reveal about a community when we move beyond words?
The group is looking for proposals that engage with these questions and outline how sound and audio will be central to the process. Following a series of projects where oral history interviews have been central, the group is keen to explore other approaches to sound. This could include (but is not limited to):
- Collecting sounds or recording soundscapes
- Engaging with found or archival sounds
- Composing a new song, piece of music or audio work
The works created in response to this brief will be part of an exhibition that will tour six of Hounslow’s Libraries for up to two years, as well as being archived on CPP Hounslow’s Visual Arts Programme website. Proposals should include a planned outcome in the medium of sound and outline how this will be shared on the physical exhibition boards and online.
Proposals should also outline how they will engage with Hounslow’s diverse communities. Whilst plans do not need to be in place at proposal stage, applicants should be specific about which groups of communities they intend to work with and outline how they will reach out and engage with them.
