Oral Testimonies and Sound Art as Strategies of Representation in the Anthropocene
Abstract
This article is a review of an exhibition project in which artists, social scientists and citizens have collaborated with the aim of opening possibilities, imagining and extending thought towards large-scale environmental processes. Starting from a local context of declining heavy industry, transition towards a computerized society, and an energetic and climatic conflict ravaging Europe. Through the use of oral testimonies and their sound dimension it was possible to create an artistic representation of collective labour identities, amplify those discordant voices and create a new narrative of the steel industry. This interdisciplinary experience was able to look as themes such as the politics of work, those of material objects and the contribution of artistic practices to the Anthropocene debate.
