Birmingham Literature Festival
In Autumn 2018, we worked in collaboration with Birmingham Literature Festival to add a little something extra to their programme. We commissioned 12 writers to create bespoke poems (and one short story!) inspired by venues around the city centre, where BLF were hosting events.
Statues Workshop
When protestors in Bristol brought down a monument to slave trader Edward Colston in their city, it sparked a national conversation about the value and purpose of public art in our lives. Given that Overhear is all about giving people the power to write their own narratives onto their spaces, we thought it was the

Where I End & You Begin

Los Pasos de Mama Killa (The Steps of Mother Killa)
The soundwalk “Los Pasos de Mama Killa” (The Steps of Mama Killa) explores the collective meaning of agency at night, presenting the nighttime as a communal and relational space grounded in mutual care.

Wells in Sturt and Marion
Works by local poet Lance Thomas were integrated in art panels within Hamilton Park Reserve, speaking to issues around urban sprawl, the decline of local food production, the impact of engineering on the local waterways, and the rise of car use.
Avian Humanoids
Avian Humanoids, a production by composer, producer, and performer Evelien van den Broek, is a soundwalk that transports you to the world of mythological creatures, uncanny sounds, and musical fantasies. You walk from tree to tree, to five unique trees in Oosterpark, Amsterdam (NL). As soon as you stand beneath them, the tree comes to life, and you hear the rustling of leaves and the fluttering of wings. This isn’t just any park; these aren’t just any trees. Here live the Avian Humanoids. Part human, part bird. In their tree, they begin to sing. As they sit above you and fly around you, you listen to their song.
