Sulfur Feathers
Location: The Dividers, Clarendon Dock
“Sulfur Feathers” features the voices of over 20 women. It layers sounds collected in Berlin while on residency at Hošek Contemporary, with a written piece about naming places, lost things and watching for weather. From the sky come unexpected objects. They dissolve and elude their watchers. As weather comes and goes, compass points become obsolete and stars disappear. A chorus of women speak of place, ancestors and the missing.
