Raise the Alarm

Raise the Alarm is a day-long deep listening and deep viewing festival of screen-based and audio works from interdisciplinary artists who make art in response to the natural world and the climate emergency.

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 audio-visual works by Mella Shaw (Sounding Line), Hanna Tuulikki (Seals'kin), Dark Quiet collective Madeleine Flynn, Jenny Hector & Tim Humphrey (Dark Quiet), Ross Little (Mìle Dorcha | The Dark Mile) and David Harradine (It’s the Skin You’re Living In_).

Audio only works include those by Susan Stenger (Sound Strata of Coastal Northumberland), Diana Chester & Damien Ricketson (Listening to Earth), Claudia Molitor (A Thousand Words for Weather) and Genevieve Lacey (Breathing Space).

Raise the Alarm aims to explain and explore our environmental and cultural engagements and predicaments and shows how artists are developing and extending the application of these concepts in their practices, to reflect one of the major concerns of our time.

The deep viewing and deep listening experiences will be supplemented with artists talks, so that we can hear first-hand, the rationale behind the artmaking.
