2024, Sound Art piece for Installation
Listen / Watch
Climate Change and Waste Pickers’ was a multimedia exhibition at Millennium Gallery Sheffield, as part of Festival of the Mind ‘24. It showcased ‘CATA’ prints built from images of waste collectors in Brazil by Verônica Alkmim França.
The artworks were created as part of WIEGO research on climate change impact and strategies in partnership with the LO-ACT (Low Carbon Action in Ordinary Cities) project, led by Vanesa Castán Broto at the University of Sheffield.
I created ten sound pieces inspired by the research and artworks that tells stories about place, people and materials through sound collage, exploring narratives behind the artworks in an informative and engaging way.
To do so, I recorded sounds from recycling, upcycling, litter picking and waste management in Sheffield. The compositions also include recordings from cooperative sorting centres in Brazil.
The sounds were processed to make abstract pieces responding to the prints, touching on themes of climate anxiety, dignity, recycling, identity, solidarity and urban adaptation.
The project LO-ACT has received funding from the European Research Council under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme.
