Helen T. Miriam - Black Ear, White Noise
About: Helen T. Mariam is an American theatre director, filmmaker, writer, and sound artist based in London. Her work often explores political economy, African diaspora, and myth and myth-making.
Piece: The “West” is alive with the sound of whiteness.
From proud fascists to liberal apologists, the noise of the imperial core rings loud yet hollow. Still, some ears are pricked by its luring call of power. Others hear the bluster for the nonsense it is. And some are just listening out for any spikes in danger.
Black Ear, White Noise is a provocative experimental headphone experience that explores these everyday black aural encounters with the white din.
