Join us for the launch of Glot: Four Conversations on Voice. The book accompanies the exhibition Glot at Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, curated by Meanjin/Brisbane’s own Sophie Rose. The Greek suffix ‘glot’ means ‘to have a tongue’. Rose’s exhibition reflects on elements of vocal expression that exceed linguistic construction. Her reader features long-form interviews with the four participating artists: Shahrzad Changalvaee, JJJJJerome Ellis, Nour Mobarak, and Anri Sala. Through their discussions, they explore a politics of speech beyond clear articulation residing in the material of voice itself, a politics which can both carry and disturb a speaker’s intention. Hear Rose in conversation via Zoom with artist Shahrzad Changalvaee and purchase a copy of Glot: Four Conversations on Voice.
