Scottish Gut Project: Workshop 5

Please note the new date of the workshop: Friday December 16, 2022

Together we’ll spend time thinking about the ways we communicate with our guts and vice-versa.

The sound your guts make is called ‘borborygmi’—stemming from ‘wafting up’, ‘bubbling water’, the italian ‘borbottare’ can mean to grumble, mutter, or gripe. Does the gut only communicate when it’s complaining?

For this session Kirsty Hendry will be joined by composer, performer and sound artist Joe Howe and graphic designer Lucy Watkins. They'll work together to experiment with ways of scoring and transcribing the gut through sound and image.

Vegan lunch provided (diet/allergies will be accounted for).
