'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 not only to the feminine, queer, non-binary voices but also to the primitive and non-rational ways of expression, that the contemporary democracy tends to exclude</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.
