## what (strategy)
6 years ago
6 years ago
I want to interrogate and explore methods of adress and vocal presence in public, through a feministic approach. Which means I collect material and return it back to the people involved (a feminist feedback composition). Relating in practices of listening and participating. So, first I want to explore speech acts- a performative action of making things and space for it through embodied participation and vocal expression, together with others by applying practices related to it in a safe space. And second listening to our surroundings, presences that occupy the public space, how they get expressed, what these sounds reveal.
## How (example)
I want to create a temporary (public) space of expression and active involvement.
Everyone has a different interpretation when listening to surrounding sounds, because of the structures that define their identity. Patterns of sounds of the area that reveal these structures. And giving it back to them to describe and listen carefully to their everyday environment. Not just extracting, as an artist, fragments of their world.
first reflected in the landscape/soundscape of the area (private/public) and second tools for the inhabitants to get comfortable with it/discuss about it through meetings.
and then invite for going outside

## why (intention)
6 years ago
silencing of women/ establishment of spaces and roles because of the relation between space and identity/ gender construction. Gender separation in public space
approaches of listening and participation and specificity instead of formal articulation of rhetorics
speech act-> making things-> making space

### The Parasitic Reading Room https://dprbcn.wordpress.com/2019/03/11/parasitic-reading-room/, https://issuu.com/ethel.baraona/docs/parasitic_reader_01, https://issuu.com/ethel.baraona/docs/parasitic_reader_02
The Parasitic Reading Room expanded its reach with one of its most dynamics installment, an urban dérive across the irregular streets of the city in companion of a mobile radio (radioee.net), through a live broadcast of the public readings. In that moment, the “walking reading room” became a space of knowledge exchange, of joint efforts to keep the radio moving, of empathy and joyful, of different languages discussing together relevant topics, a space where to sing and to learn, a borderless open school.
It consists of readers (publication), headphones, radio broadcast. Different participants, one transmitter
My approach: collection of texts (reader) related to female voices and public speech, reading outside extracts of the reader that also contains sentenses of women meetings. We walk together outside and externalize the material produced from the different meetings. Record and listen to sounds from the city. Using the recorder or a mic with headphones? Need to make: the audio streaming.
### Furtive Furtive Suspicious https://soundcloud.com/ain_bailey/furtive-furtive-suspicious
Voices from different channels (?) describing something, with adjectives. Is it the female voice? It may be a live streaming of women broadcasting from different transmitters at the same time. Different spots? But coming online/on radiowaves together?
My approach: it could be that I ask women in Leeszaal to broadcast from different sources in the same place. Or just record themselves and listening to this after. Their voices could be played dpending on the time they are frecording themselves.

Ain Bailey's immersive multi-channel sound piece The Pitch Sisters (2012) is a composition challenging the notion of a 'preferred pitch' of a woman's voice, questioning restrictive heteronormative roles and who has the power to define gender ideals.
