Show up. Listen up. Get involved.

We're staging a gallery take-over that is part live ‘Pirate Radio’ performance, part futuring workshop, and part sound exhibition about the importance of amplification and listening in urban politics. Amplify is a living, breathing example of how stories occupy urban space and generate solidarity. It responds to long-standing calls to protect music and creative spaces in our cities, to create more diverse media landscapes and to champion First Nations music and journalism. This takeover invites people to share stories about sound and activism in the city through live radio broadcasts from the gallery and visual conversations covering key moments of amplification of the past, present and futures.

Full 6 week (evolving) public program Oct 5--Nov 18 here >> https://amplifies.blog/2023/09/20/schedule/
