Free Reed Project
Created by Savinder Bual, ‘Free Reed’ is an interactive sculptural installation that highlights the importance of freedom of speech and deep listening, providing a space for contemplation and discussion.
The installation will be accompanied by a 10 day programme of free workshops and interventions that invite participants to address questions such as: ‘whose voices are amplified or silenced?’, ‘who really listens?’, and ‘do we truly listen?’
