About Hannah Kemp-Welch
Hannah Kemp-Welch is a social practice sound artist, working collaboratively with communities, educators and artists, to listen to the world around them. Using a range of strategies such as sound recording, audio interventions, broadcasts, performance and digital making, works explore communication and ask how do we listen? and who can be heard?
Recent projects explored audio signposting and digital voices, changing languages under globalisation, precarious labour and rhetoric around employment. Within complex issues, works seek a positive vision of the future, encouraging play and experimentation, facilitating knowledge exchange and collective action.
Hannah has worked with communities across the UK, and shown works at Tate Modern, Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art, Firstsite Colchester, and Nottingham Contemporary; Hannah is currently the Open House artist in residence at Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge.
About Open House
Open House is a long-term collaboration between Kettle’s Yard and our neighbouring communities in North Cambridge. Supported by Esmee Fairbairn Foundation, Cambridge City Council and Arts Council England.
