'Bodies of Sound: Becoming a Feminist Ear' book launch at Cafe OTO

‘I am concerned with the power of sound! and what it can do to the body and the mind’ wrote composer Pauline Oliveros. In the body, histories and politics come together with sound and listening, memory and feeling. 'Bodies of Sound: Becoming a Feminist Ear' (Silver Press, 2024) offers a resonant exploration of feminist sonic cultures and radical listening in over fifty contributions.

This matinee launch of 'Bodies of Sound', hosted and introduced by the book's editors, Irene Revell and Sarah Shin, illuminates the thread of (sound) archives, recording, histories and memory that runs throughout the book. In an informal 'play and tell', contributors Christina Hazboun, Tomoko Hojo, Marysia Lewandowska and Syma Tariq will each share a sound(s) and discuss.
