Came across this idea in one of my readings on sound studies and activist listening and thought it was relevant to our discussion of the challenges of completing an MFA and collectivity in a remote, digital space during a pandemic:
“Crowded together in a classroom with the three days of flip-chart paper lining the walls around us the group began to question the basis of how they are evaluated as artists and to what extent that basis forecloses possible art practices that include collectivity.”
