Episode description

Bhavisha Panchia speaks to Simnikiwe Buhlungu about her working with sound, how knowledge is moved, recreated, translated and recomposed. She talks about the relationship between the aural and the ocular, listening practices, and some past projects, working with printmaking collective DGI at the Centre for the Less Good Idea, and her solo show at Kunsthalle Bern. The episode features working ‘sketches’ from the artist.

Notes from below brings together the works of artists and musicians whose research, poetics, and sound practices are coupled with an understanding of the below as that which is beneath – the quiet, inaudible yet present. Their works demonstrate how inherited forms and traditions inform lineages, yet are unstable and open to change and adaptation. History, memory and knowledge are re-encoded through art practice and cast across generations and geographies. Notes from Below asks for us to look and listen closer to the cultural and epistemic transfers that occur on micro and macro levels, in personal and communal spaces.
