From the Other Side of Voice 2

This session is a platform to listen to and discuss female speech, song and voice. Producer Sang-il Choi and writer Jiyeon Kim, famous for their radio program On the Journey Looking for Our Songs, recompose elderly ladies’ songs accompanying their labor hours, folk songs, chats, shaman songs and share with the audience the power and time spent by women who exist on the other side of these voices. Siren Eun Young Jung interprets the constant struggle shaking up the hierarchal mentality at the time set in the pansori (a Korean opera-style genre) Choonhyang-ga into a new form of musical. Yongwoo Lee carves out a new space for the criticism of ‘auditory sense-modernity’ through a micro-chronology of Kim Chuja and other Asian Divas. David Teh studies phantoms of the Cold War era, focusing on Southeast Asian media art.
