Immersion - Selina Thompson @Arts Admin, season for change festival

Part of What Shall We Build Here, Artsadmin’s festival of art, climate and community from 8-12 September.

Immersion was a collaboration between Selina Thompson, the People of Tower Hamlets and the Air they Breathe. Over one day, four groups of self-appointed Custodians of Air stood facing the North, South, East and West of Tower Hamlets, playing the sounds of breathing out into the day and night.

Built from a chorus of breath collected in parks and spaces across the borough from local womxn of colour, the sound is a moment of cleansing and defiance, taking a sound we are surrounded by and tuning into its beauty at a time when breathing has never felt so loaded.
