Join us as we explore women’s voices and sound works in Audio Arts Magazine Lucia Farinati in conversation with Jean Wainwright

From the volume Feminist Issues in Contemporary Art (1979) to the publications of several interviews with artists including Laurie Anderson, Tracey Emin, Rose Garrard, Susan Hiller, Mary Kelly, Tina Keane, Georgina Starr, Mona Hatoum, Runa Islam, Silvia C. Ziranek (to mention just a few) Audio Arts Magazine featured a significant and diverse spectrum of women’s voices.

Through a guided presentation of recordings selected and presented with Jean Wainwright, a former interviewer of Audio Arts, this sound seminar will invite participants to engage with the voices and the sound works of women artists who featured in Audio Arts Magazine. A temporary display of archive material, including letters, tape cassettes, photos and ephemera from the Audio Arts collection (1973-2007) will introduce the audience to the cultural context in which the dialogue with women artists was developed across different generations, backgrounds and artistic practices.

This event is part of Activating Audio Arts Archive a research project initiated by Lucia Farinati in collaboration with Kingston University and Tate Archive, which investigates the history and the legacy of the Audio Arts magazine through the narration of four episodes constructed around the presentation of original material selected from its archive.

Temporary display presented by Clare Sexton (Tate Archive) and Lucia Farinati (Kingston University)
