Sound: :Gender: :Feminism: :Activism 2012

Post-graduate Research Event
London College of Communication
University of the Arts London
May 17th 2012

Sound::Gender::Feminism::Activism was a postgraduate event that focused on the role of gender in sound-based arts and experimental musics, following on from the Her Noise: Feminisms and the Sonic symposium at Tate Modern in May 2012. The aim was to continue and expand upon dialogues and discourses related to feminism and sound, and to contribute to a growing network of researchers and practitioners working in these areas. The event bought together a range of academics, artists, musicians, engineers and music journalists invited to share their working interests and concerns. In addition, artists submitted audio and visual artworks for inclusion, which were available to view and listen to during the event, a selection of which, along with many of the presentations that were given on the day are archived on this page.
