Imagining Otherwise Live is a series of events crafted by the artists, Ashley Holmes, Jala Wahid and Jasleen Kaur, who contributed to the Imagining Otherwise exhibition.
Led by Jasleen Kaur, Reading in Chorus will explore the use of differing methods of collective voice to connect attendees to each other and themselves.

In the workshop, attendees will group read the text Quantum Listening by Pauline Oliveros through a series of improvised vocal experiments to explore collective voice. The workshop is initiated by a few things: the prompt to 'listen behind you' and Saidiya Hartman's suggestion of the chorus, both as practices that reimagine inherited histories and dominant narratives. No prior engagement with the text or voice is necessary, just an interest in voice and freedom.
Location: Primary Garden
