Voiceblind: Matters of Methodology

ARIAS pays attention to voices in artistic research. Find one episode dropped every Friday between 2 April – 28 May 2021 for your listening ears. Voiceblind is the name used by ARIAS in relation to the thematic line 'in the art of listening to the matter' which thinks about radical listening as a methodology for building multi-disciplinary research. Derived from Nick Couldry’s criticism regarding the current ‘crisis of voice’ in neoliberal democracies, Voiceblind takes the opportunity to move beyond dominating sounds in order to share and explore a multiplicity of voices within art and research. Credit where credit is due to Morgane Billuart, Visual Design Graduate of the Gerrit Rietveld Academie who realised this series. This project is initiated by ARIAS, an Amsterdam-based platform forwarding research through the arts and sciences, and sitting between the five knowledge institutions: University of Amsterdam, VU Amsterdam, Gerrit Rietveld Academie/ Sandberg Instituut, Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, and Amsterdam University of the Arts.
