⚪️This week’s exhibition case
Trading Zone 2025 is a cross-disciplinary group exhibition at Talbot Rice Gallery, showcasing experimental works by ten artists. Exploring themes like planetary relations, imagination, and institutional critique, it blurs boundaries between art and research, inviting viewers into a dynamic space of collaboration and speculation.

Among these works, the one that impressed me the most was PhD student Victoria Evans’s sound work Deep Space Call and Response.

Inspired by Deep Space Call and Response, which draws on the movements of European Space Agency satellites to modulate domestic soundscapes, this exhibition similarly explores how deep listening can bridge the intimate and the systemic, revealing how women’s domestic lives are shaped by patriarchal structures. As Pauline Oliveros writes, “Deep Listening is intended to expand consciousness of sound in as many dimensions of awareness and attentional dynamics as humanly possible” (Oliveros, 2005), this project could encourage audiences to become aware of the sounds of silence, shame and surveillance embedded in women’s everyday experiences.
