In one sentence
I want to explore voice and its ability to break binaries Through performative and feedback actions I invite people to listen and talk in public I want to make space through vocal and sound actions for the topic of gender binary to emerge How can female voices get amplified in public space and networks
what
Make a platform or object of interaction and leave people decide what to do with it Relation to publishing:
How (example)
Future hypothesis/experiment: Why not in the end invite people to add their own recordings/ introduce recording practice to them in the warm up exercises. Imagining these sounds differently, add abstract animal terms.
why (intention)
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
urgency of specificity
Larger context
My research lies on feministc approaches on voice and presence. Sound art specificity etc (from my thesis)

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.

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.
Pitch Sisters http://www.nae.org.uk/exhibition/sounds-like-her/131, https://soundcloud.com/ain_bailey/the-pitch-sisters-edit
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.
