Artists Sharon Bennett and Sarah Dixon performing listening/shouting

listening/shouting

listening/shouting is a performance-film made for The Baby Makers: Making History.

The project was a National Lottery Heritage Funded project in 2024, with Stroud’s Museum in the Park.

We listened to stories of birth, as told by elder women and women of the global majority in Stroud District. Out of this listening we made a performance response.
