Sound and Power

Over six essays published in 2022, Conversations on Sound and Power gathers exchanges from a wide variety of contemporary artists, scholars, writers, activists, and interdisciplinary practitioners concerned with how sound and ideas about sound shape our historical, experiential, juridical, intersubjective, and current socio-political entanglements.

Conversations on Sound and Power is organized by Sonic Insurgency Research Group (Josh Rios, Anthony Romero and Matt Joynt) whose research-based performance and exhibition practice examines normalized associations be­tween criminality and sound, silencing as a form of social control, and voicing as a form of social resistance.
