This series brings together the works of artists and musicians whose research, poetics, and sound practices are coupled with an understanding of the below as that which is beneath – the quiet, inaudible yet present. Their work demonstrate how inherited forms and traditions inform lineages, yet are unstable and open to change and adaptation. History, memory and knowledge are re-encoded through art practice and cast across generations and geographies. Notes from Below asks for us to look and listen closer to the cultural and epistemic transfers that occur on micro and macro levels, in personal and communal spaces.
