What Makes Hearing Possible? Towards a Practice of (Self)Reflective Listening (2022)
By Sydney Mann
What makes hearing and brave sharing possible when the language of power and oppression haunt everyday discourse? This one-time, live, interactive exhibit will put edited oral history interviews in dialogue with the present to explore how our roles as social and systemic actors recreate systems of privilege and oppression within forms of communication. Participants will engage in methods (self)-reflective listening - repeating words back as to redistribute power or invite clarification - to transform the language of dominance into a co-operative language of hearing to generate shared meaning and community in conversation.NOTE: This year's group exhibit opens Friday, April 29th at 5pm Eastern. This individual exhibit has no online component, and will take place in-person.
