What unique facets of our existence and identity does sound allow us to explore as women and gender diverse artists? This is one of the big questions that emerges inside this conversation with three of the five 2024 Oram Award winners.
Whether it be through choreography, performance art, hacking or design, Lola De La Mata, xname and The Silver Field are all artists who have come to sound through alternative pathways. Inside this episode, you’ll learn about the role that sound and experimental music plays in their practice, how they harness technology to express deeply personal and sensitive experiences and we’ll also listen to some of their work too.
You’ll also learn more from one of the 2024 judges Dr Mariam Rezaei about the Oram Awards themselves, including the judging process and how you can apply for the next round.
