From this year’s Wysing Polyphonic festival, artists Annie Goh and Natalie Hyacinth (Sonic Cyberfeminisms), Emma Smith, Zuir and Roy Claire Potter and NSDOS explore the idea of silence in relation to Audrey Lorde’s seminal text ‘Your Silence Will Not Protect You.’
Somerset House Studios were invited to guest curate the 2019 edition of Wysing Polyphonic. Considering the legacy of Wysing Arts Centre as a place where artists meet and experiment, the programme explored connection beyond the physical: connection as a channel of communication; an incantation, returning, or heralding; the calling on an ‘other’ or unknown to understand different worlds and possibilities.
