<\/figure>\n\n\n\nCan noise be political, culture and gender-specific? Can sound mobilise socio-political and physical change? And can listening be a form of activism? Working across film, sound and performance, the artist Mikhail Karikis presents a selection of projects he created with diverse communities of people ranging from age five to eighty-five. In his talk, Karikis will trace the evolution of his sculptural and political use of noise. Shedding light on issues of social marginalisation and presenting examples of collective action, activist imagination, pride and joy, the projects he will discuss were produced with people in different parts of the world, including a disused English coal mine, a remote North Pacific island, an imposing geothermal industrial site in Italy and a primary school classroom in east London. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
