The return of Sound::Gender::Feminism::Activism

I shall have more to say on this, but for now, I am very pleased to announce that I shall be presenting at the upcoming Sound::Gender::Feminism::Activism conference in London.

Two years ago I presented at the first such conference, an event that inspired a blog post and podcast. And possibly influenced me to return to higher education! The jury's out on that one....

My topic is Activating an Archive, and I am currently putting together the material for the presentation. I am trying to decide how to get in enough sound to fulfil the conference brief while working in my points.

Very exciting!

Further to my posts on Sound::Gender::Feminism::Activism, my new podcast features interviews from the conference (Cathy Lane, Annie Goh, Helena Lopes Braga, and Laura Seddon) plus my meeting with Toronto's Abstract Random.

The Thing Revealed

So, now that I have uploaded the info, I can reveal that I shall be making my Power Point debut at a conference this week in London.

SOUND::GENDER::FEMINISM::ACTIVISM is an all-day event at the London College of Communication and puts me in formidable company.

It will be interesting for me, as it is positioned very much as an academic research event, and my research and practice are completely removed from that sphere. Amusingly, I am in the last session of the day, titled Sexing the Groove, which happens to be a book in which I appear as a reference, so I guess the shoe fits.

What does please me immensely is to finally take some of my myriad interviews and present them as sound to a live audience. I have been bustling along, learning about multi-channel installations (and Power Point), and while my presentation is by no means super-finessed, I think it should stand on its content.  Hurrah.
