to listen deeply (2021)

2020-2021

to listen deeply was part of Hyphenated Projects: the threads we hold together 2021 at Footscray Community Arts Centre.

This work references the transformation that occurred when everything stopped. The change in my body, my breathing and time. To listen deeply talks to the many shifts in thinking, doing and being that occurred throughout 2020 into 2021. The action that comes from my body is a mode of healing as I learn through practice and locate myself within the process of making.

Hyphenated Biennial: The threads we hold together 

Hyphenated Biennial: The threads we hold together is a collective record of how Hyphenated Biennial has come to be, presented as a gathering. A gathering where there is space to contemplate, a gathering where the outcome is in its process and transformation—a gathering that we wish we had. 

In acknowledging the time we did not spend together due to the pandemic, here we share our processes throughout the past 18 months. We hope this series of records will provoke a collective future that is grounded in openness and our ability to dialogue, collaborate, and support each other.
