'Let's amplify unspeakable things' is an online platform that supports a space for exploration and research, regarding voice in public and its amplification, developed by Angeliki Diakrousi. It consists of a set of experiments that questions the establishment of authoritative/male voices that create exclusive speech platforms, along the assumption that voices have to be rational, authoritative (voice of expertise) etc. The intervention that changes the paradigm becomes <divclass="tooltip-wrap"style="display: inline;text-decoration:underline;">a set of podcasts <divclass="tooltip-content-right"><div>what conflicts or frictions the technical aspect provokes?</div></div></div>that revisit an archive of audio recordings produced in situated meetings and soundwalks. Every podcast exists on a way that creates repetetive layers of the same material. I perceive amplification as a way to create presence through repetition and multiplication. 'Let's amplify unspeakable things' is upsetting binaries such as male/female, expert/amateur, rational/irrational. It is about creating poetic (audio) narratives emerging from the contribution of people.

<divclass="drag-content">I recorded sounds from the West Rotterdam, <divclass="tooltip-wrap"style="display: inline;text-decoration:underline;">while walking around the neighborhood of <divclass="tooltip-content-down"><imgwidth="300px"src="images/soundwalk-photo1.jpg"/><br/><br/><imgwidth="300px"src="images/soundwalk-photo3.jpg"/></div></div><ahref="http://www.leeszaalrotterdamwest.nl/"target="_blank">Leeszaal</a> for several days. This action was part of my first experiments when I was in attempt to understand how gender binaries regarding voice are reflected in space, especially public space.
<divclass="drag-content">The player is an audio collection of voices and sounds from the meetings I have co-organised, references from my research, various internet sources, and soundwalks that I have done. It is a digital utterance that intends to be a reminder to the first forms of excluded female vocal expressions. I am using this material in my podcasts by mixing and overlayering them and creating a form of narrative with my own voice. </div>
