Catch us this Thursday on Montez Press radio for the Programme Speech Sound A day of conversation, poetry, reading, music and sound on communication, language, the body to mark the exhibition Speech Sound at VISUAL Carlow, Ireland, curated by Iarlaith Ni Fheorais. Titled after a short story by sci-fi writer Octavia Butler, Speech Sounds considers communication, language, and the body. Butler’s story takes place in the aftermath of a global pandemic - that has left most of the survivors without the ability to speak, read, or write - and the resulting collapse of society. The story presents a problematic view of the creative adaptability of human communication. My contribution is set to air at 4.30 PM London time (5.30 PM in Amsterdam, 11.30 AM in New York) on Thursday the 28th of July. Link in bio!
