'Let's Amplify Unspeakable Things' is an online platform of exploration and research, regarding <div class="tooltip-wrap">female voices<div class="tooltip-content-right"><div>The term 'female voices' refers as well to the primitive and non-rational ways of expression, that the contemporary democracy tends to exclude, and overpasses the gender connotations</div></div></div> in public and their amplification, developed by Angeliki Diakrousi. It creates a space for excluded voices to be explored (online and physical spaces), that questions the establishment of authoritative voices — which construct exclusive speech platforms and binaries, along the assumption that voices have to be rational in public dialogues. It includes a set of <div class="tooltip-wrap">podcasts <div class="tooltip-content-right" ><div>Different frictions emerged, between the technical and non technical</div></div></div>that revisit and overlay an archive of audio recordings, produced in situated<div class="tooltip-wrap">workshops<div class="tooltip-content-right" ><div></div></div></div> and soundwalks, and media sources from a body of research. 'Let's Amplify Unspeakable Things' is based on the concept that amplification can provide presence through repetition and multiplication, as the structure of the workshops and the website reveals. The project itself is a process of feedback and iteration of actions, throughout a period of four months, situated around the space of <a href="http://www.leeszaalrotterdamwest.nl/" >Leeszaal</a> and <a href="https://hub.xpub.nl/">hub.xpub.nl</a>. It exists in between the friction of institutions (a public library and an academy) and different public spheres (wereldvrouwen, academic), and it aims to go beyond their binaries.

you are invited to <div class="tooltip-wrap">amplify</div> parts of the podcasts that you find worthy of attention by listening, recording and repeating them, with your own voice, and upload them in the archive. The stories and sounds, you will listen to, are related to how female voices have been marginalised and what methods (rational/irrational) amplify and bring them in the front. Amplification can happen through repetition and multiplication. Your recording becomes part of a gathering of multiple individual voices, that repeat fragments of situations and things that are unspeakable, and can appear as feedback to them. Your voice, no matter what gender, with its own quality and uniqueness will channel these fragmented female voices. This audio collection may be, then, used as an input for <a href="amplification.php" class="underline" target="_blank">workshops</a>.
