Join artist Christine Sun Kim as she talks about the relationship between language, sound and listening, and see her new video installation at Arnolfini’s Dark Studio.
Deaf from birth, Christine Sun Kim is an artist working with concepts around sound and visual language.
Working across conventions of American Sign Language (ASL), Kim investigates the identity of her own voice and her associations of sound as a deaf person. She asks audiences to consider the role that sound and listening have in building an experience of both inner and outer worlds and the relationship between, silence, language and listening.
