Rebecca Chesney/Lubaina Himid [UK] The Storm, 2021 • TONSPUR 89

The Storm

And with the storm came a warning
But you have not been listening
I am the thunder
You will hear me

Combining field recordings and spoken word, artists Rebecca Chesney and Lubaina Himid have created a sound piece to conjure up a message of urgency. But, whose words are being spoken? 
And have you been listening?
