Working with communities to show people sound art who perhaps wouldn’t find it on their own is important to me. Felix’s lecture has inspired me to start getting involved in the local community. I would love to volunteer at some art workshops for children. To me it’s important to try and get young people involved in the arts in order to amplify the youth’s voice as a whole.
Felix described the ways in which the elders he worked with warmed up to sound art “The elders kind of thought they would arrive, sit down and talk about their life as a kid, what happened was they were met with drama therapists and they were told to act it out with movement and sound” it was a slow process for the elders to become interested, being part of this process as a practitioner would feel rewarding to me as well as perhaps making me think about art differently.
