Help our resident artist make work with your voice!
Lucie Chan is looking for voices. She has an art practice that involves voice, writing, visual art and animation and she needs your voice!
While she is at Ross Creek, she is hoping that people form the community will come up (or she can come to them, depending on the day), and read for her in exchange for a small piece of art.
Here is her description of what she is working on:
Call for Participants for Ross Creek Residency
Looking to find readers who would like to read and have their voices recorded to be part of a collection of voices that will be used for exhibition purposes (either to accompany still or animated drawings). Each participant will be invited to read part of all of a short creative non-fiction narrative that I have written and are based on the experiences of others from a cultural perspective, often related to struggle, miscommunication, being wrongly perceived. Ideally I would like to hear from those those with heavy accents, noticeable immigrant accents, and the range of Maritime accents.
I would like to record each person in a quiet space but if this cannot be done in person together, each participant may record themselves in their own home (a clothing filled closet is the best for recording!), and then send it to me via email. I would like the chance to talk with each person first about the story and to hear about heir connection or relationship to /thoughts about why they chose that narrative. Each reader chooses from and receives a small original watercolour drawing in exchange from for their time and voice.
Please contact Lucie Chan at chanluciechan@gmail.com to make arrangements.
We will also be visiting Wolfville and Kentville and would welcome appointments during those visits.
