The Listening Line (2021-23)
The Listening Line was a phoneline accessed by calling 0121 75 11 929. It could also be interacted with through The Listening Line website and chatbot. The Listening Line, is a space for exhausted voices to be heard. A space to talk confidentially without worrying about what you have said to who. It's a space to let off steam and express your feelings, thoughts and emotions. A space to know it's okay, to know that feelings matter and that we are all experiencing new feelings and emotions all the time. It's a space to share and support by simply saying ‘this helped me’, and knowing that you have been heard. The project explored how counselling strategies can be used in art practice to create new space for voices to be heard and listened to. Ethically underpinned by my training to be a counsellor and numerous ethical and legal conversations with industry professionals. |
