Andrew Pierre Hart: Project Opening

If you like rice, you’ll understand – Collective Noise draws on Stuart Hall's cultural studies and pedagogical legacy to explore sound as a form of learning and cultural exchange.

The project forms the start of a new formal collaboration between cultural neighbours: a joint artist programme between iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) and Chelsea Space at Chelsea College of Arts.

Bringing together painting, photography, moving image, text and sound, the project considers how knowledge travels through everyday practices, informal gatherings, and sonic experiences.

Developed through personal travel, artistic research, and ongoing engagement with the Stuart Hall Library, Andrew will examine the relationship between sound and diasporic experiences, inviting audiences to reflect on how cultural knowledge is produced and shared across communities.

The public programme will be used as the framework to explore gatherings and collective spaces for learning as modes of action outside of the country’s current political rhetoric. Using iniva and Chelsea Space as catalysts for experimentation and reflection, Andrew will consider how different ways of coming together might be imagined and experienced.

Please note, photography will be taking place at this event.
