We are delighted to announce the culminating exhibition of the 18th year of the LCC MA Sound Arts with an equal insistence on the unannounced. In her recent polemic essay publication, Unannounced Voices (Sternberg, 2025), curator and museum director Zdenka Badovinac insists that “the voices of change always come unannounced”, rather, “[w]e must look out the window onto the street, where our bodies are already activated.”

Whose Voices Will Announce It? gathers the work of the 17 graduating sound artists in Dilston Gallery. Through profuse practices of listening and sounding, the works attend to a multiplicity of ‘voices’ within and beyond the aesthetic practices of the gallery, from ancestors to queer love(s) to the air and soil in works that span installation, video and performance.

Alvenn Soroko explores queer listening as a form of spiritual practice; Daisy Stewart-Darling carves lino to counter silencing, proposing inner listening as resistance and healing; Anë Chora presents a performance installation re-listening to anti-migrant rhetoric; Ioustini Koutsogianni addresses the urgent issue of femicide through mimesis and immersion; Pierre Huang proposes listening as means of reclaiming agency.

Imogen Mason uses redundant technologies to explore the auditory aesthetic of ageing; Hongquan Wang presents an AI device that translates spoken language without translating meaning; Ding Huang invites us to contribute voices to a pseudo-broadcast; Jey Wang shares an unedited 96-hour recording of her daily life; Siyao Li's installation traces the presence of her late grandmother; Rikuto Fujimoto tests how identities and memories embedded in sound might be transformed.

Isabella Burnett immerses us in a dream through an experimental film with manipulated field recordings; Jinyuan Guo creates soundscapes for those who struggle to rest; Ke Ning explores occult traditions such as Hermetic Qabalah and astrology through experimental sound design; Joe Browning creates an evolving ‘sonic print’ of past landscapes; Zhaoyuan Shi turns air pollution into an audible experience; and Xingyi Liu’s sound compost decomposes, transforms, and nourishes repair.
