In this episode, we will be listening to the sound artwork
„Speeches of the Unheard“ by the Thai artist Som Supaparinya. For
this piece, she has translated the speeches and poems of Thai
poets and political and human rights activists into the songs of
birds native to Thailand; or into “the voices of birds and
crows”, as a Thai idiom puts it. This phrase is used to devalue
the words of others as meaningless or not worthy of attention –
just like the voices of the many political activists in Thailand
that are ignored and even silenced by the authorities.
