Amplify: Story, Resistance, Radio is staging a gallery takeover that is part live ‘Pirate Radio’ performance, part futuring workshop, and part sound exhibition about the importance of amplification and listening in urban politics. Amplify is a living, breathing example of how stories occupy urban space and generate solidarity. It responds to long-standing calls to protect music and creative spaces in our cities, to create more diverse media landscapes and to champion First Nations music and journalism. This takeover invites people to share stories about sound and activism in the city through live radio broadcasts from the gallery and visual conversations covering key moments of amplification of the past, present and future.
Overview
Under the guidance of Rully Zakaria, me and four other top performing visual communications students spent an afternoon workshopping and creating designs. We ripped and cut up different coloured papers to create abstract collages that visually represented different types of waves. My two collages reflect ‘vibrations’ and ‘static’. We then took photos and used photoshop to translate our images into print-ready designs. Our designs were printed on nylon fabric banners that were strung up and displayed as flags within the exhibition.
