Fari Bradley will only overview two aspects of her work – feminism and sketching. My work is very both vocal and silent.
Part of her PhD is about Practice is the research. In his book Re-imagining the sketchbook as a medium of encounter (2018), Nigel Power stated that sketchbooks can’t be integrated into learning. John Berger published a book that defends a symbiotic desire to get closer and closer, to enter the self of what is being drawn. Simultaneously, there is the foreknowledge of immanent distance. Such drawings aspire to be both a secret rendezvous and an au revoir! Fari practised this idea in a collaborative improvisation taken place in 2015 with Christopher John Weaver and Maxeem Meraki, where she tried to draw and sketch the experience:
What is it for sound artists this notion of sketching? How can we visualise sound as an improviser? “The music is an offering to the audience and not a shot. It encourages communication rather than consumption. Daniel Charles describes this coupling between audience and performers as the climax”.
She also debated where women are placed in the sound art scene in her work. Women take back the noise, an event organised by 47 women artists.
Hannah Kemp-Welch is a sound artist that started her PhD recently – Listening practices for Social Art. She collabs with Soundcamp and Shortwave Collective. Her practice entails bringing sound to the masses. She helps communities build bonds with sound and empower themselves through it.
The Right to Record (2021) – Audio & Zine
For six months, I worked with a project group of four residents who have experienced long term ill health or disabilities to produce artwork through social practice, which has since developed into a political campaign…

This is a fantastic project, and I consider this type of art the most interesting and complicated to develop for me.
