Jean-Luc Guionnet will be giving a talk as part of the music department’s ongoing series of colloquia.
The pieces in the programme switch between silent film/ imageless sound, but we wanted to have a think about how ideas can take up residency on either side of the sound/ image border, without having to inhabit both at the same time.

The queer archiving of traumatic cultural memory from one of the leading voices working with queer archives.
A kind of performed installation of searing noise and silence, where we’re not sure who the performer is, when it starts or ends or even who it’s for.
