about

Inspired by the notion that fear creates a sonic filter, which prevents us from recognizing our common humanity, this piece puts forward the idea that there is a transparent line of fear that divides black and white America. This division is both deep and systemic.


INTER(FEAR)ENCE speaks to the hierarchical division of whiteness and blackness, and on a deeper level, it speaks to the interactions between the powerful and the powerless. This transparent filter symbolises the ideological barriers that interfere with our listening. When we do not listen, we do not accept the humanity of the other.


This installation invites you to engage in two different perspectives and aims to explore how sound and listening impact racial politics. We hear anger, frustration, disbelief, fear, pride and humiliation. There is also condescension, domination, threats, impatience and violence.


Ultimately, the sonification of race and the racialization of listening means that as long as our understanding of each other is distorted by fear, we will always live in the fear of never truly being heard.
