Meet CRiSAP
In the 15 years since CRiSAP was first established, sound arts has emerged and diverged into a plethora of artistic practices. This has been accompanied by the rise of sound studies. CRiSAP’s primary research has consistently developed practice and thinking about sound in relation with the environment, feminism and gender, voice and language, memory and sonic archives, improvisation, performance and sound writing, incorporating many disciplinary perspectives.
This presentation by Prof. Cathy Lane will focus on how the rise of listening as both a subject of study and a creative methodology unites these research areas and relates them to environmental change, health and wellbeing and community resilience.
The event will be opened by Professor Jeremy Till, Head of Central Saint Martins, Pro-Vice Chancellor (Research).
