The new, immersive exhibition' Sounds Like Her' will come to Gallery Oldham from Saturday 14th December until Monday 7th March 2020.

The new touring exhibition, curated by Christine Eyene and produced by New Art Exchange- aims to explore sound as a medium and subject matter through immersive installations, paintings, print, drawing and video. 

The ground-breaking project brings together six women artists, all from a diverse backgrounds, including Ain Bailey, Sonia Boyce OBE RA, Linda O'Keeffe, Christine Sun Kim, Madeleine Mbida and Magda Stawarska-Beavan.

The selected works represent sound in the broadest sense, exploring voice, noise, organic and synthetic sounds, rhythmic patterns, sonic structures and visual materialisation of sound. 

Rebekah Sutcliffe, Strategic Director of Communities and Reform, said, “This piece of work is an excellent addition to the ever-growing programme of events and exhibitions at Gallery Oldham. 

“The exhibition is an interesting one as it covers a thought-provoking topic around sound art and features a range of women artists from diverse cultural backgrounds.”

“We’d like to thank Christine Eyene and New Art Exchange for making Sounds Like Her possible and I hope residents and visitors get the chance to explore the gallery piece.”
