The Black Box of Hope

This immersive audio installation invites participants to move through and experience the fragile, shifting nature of hope within protests.

Produced in 5.1-channel surround sound, the exhibition space is permeated with the familiar rhythms of protests at the strike of every hour, encouraging participants to navigate the landscape as chants, songs and beats envelop them from different corners of the room.

As the protest intensifies, participants are confronted with an increasingly alarming police presence that rapidly escalates into disproportionate police violence.

An ode to aircraft black boxes, this piece serves as evidence of an imagined protest, quietly recording its unseen developments and silenced voices. It encapsulates both a caution about the dissipation of hope, and an insistence on its necessity in today's world.
