Funding for 'Chain of Works: 1' - Emergency Comprehensive Aid package for Cultural Art Activities by the Agency for Cultural Affairs, Government of Japan

My garden without me is a project conceptualized and curated by Ana Gnjatović. It is a constructed archive of faked field recordings, imaginary soundscapes and following photo, video, and text-based documentation.

Several members of the Sound & Word Network have contributed to the TREE BARK RECIPES strand of the project: a collection of artworks showing befores and afters of insects inhabiting a single littleleaf linden (Tilia cordata).

We're delighted to be featuring our first project at the TAma Music and Arts Festival in Japan, from the 20th - 21st March 2021. The festival will take place online. Details on how to attend to follow.

Sixteen Sound & Word Network members worked on "Chain of Works: 1" from December 2020 until March 2021. The result is a 15 minute audio-visual piece of interconnected works by composers and writers from all over the world.

The first link in the chain came when network co-founder and composer Francesca Le Lohé (Japan) wrote a short piece for solo sho (笙) inspired by the story“Nine-to-Five” by network co-founder and writer Charlotte Wührer (Germany). Fourteen artists subsequently responded by creating new works in this unique collaboration.
