Southwark Park Galleries Podcast

Recorded live as part of our events programme for Candida Powell-Williams exhibition Tilt Shift: Shadows of the Seasoned Sun. Art critic and writer, Hettie Judah joins artist Candida Powell-Williams in-conversation. 

Join Radio Anti as they approach the historical legacies and contemporary meanings of the Mayflower crossing through its noisy elements: the sea, the ship, and the settlers.

In this three part series, Matt and Ross play a mixture of music, Youtube videos and audio recordings, to explore the meaning of noise and by analogy, the meaning of historical events such as the Mayflower crossing, and offer alternative interpretations through sound.

The Noise of the Mayflower is a piece of aural research about the Mayflower crossing in 1620, an event whose historical ‘signals’ are still heard today in discussions about colonialism and national identity. But what about noise? Can we still hear the noise that the pilgrims experienced at sea, the noise of the Mayflower ship, or the sound of spoken language in the 17th century?
