Raise the Alarm
Raise the Alarm is a deep listening and deep viewing programme of screen-based and audio works from interdisciplinary artists who make art in response to the natural world and the climate emergency.
The project explores the various ways in which artworks referencing themes and concerns for the environment manifest and speak to audiences. The artists presented as part of Raise the Alarm have made works that invite us to open our eyes, ears and minds, to actively understand what nature is communicating to us.
Illustrating that artists are in a unique position to reflect and contextualise the world and to make us think deeply about its wonders and its fragility — the programme includes moving image works by Mella Shaw (Sounding Line), Hanna Tuulikki (Seals’kin), DarkQuiet collective Madeleine Flynn, Jenny Hector & Tim Humphrey (DarkQuiet), Ross Little (Mìle Dorcha | The Dark Mile), Diana Chester, Damien Ricketson & Fausto Brusamolino (Listening to Earth), and David Harradine (It’s the Skin You’re Living In).
Audio only works include those by Susan Stenger (Sound Strata of Coastal Northumberland), Alaya Ang, Hussein Mitha & Cindy Islam (Plotting (Against) The Garden), Claudia Molitor & Jessica J Lee (A Thousand Words for Weather) and Genevieve Lacey (Breathing Space).
The programme explores our environmental and cultural engagements and predicaments and demonstrates how artists are developing and extending the application of these concepts in their practices, to reflect one of the major concerns of our time.
