ENCRYPTED SOUNDS OF WELLBEING

Supported by Arts Council England, this project looks at wellbeing using Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Chart and partly, our current situation in light of a global pandemic. Houston will re-imagine and reappropriate the chart as an installation, using interactive digital technologies, recorded discussion and participatory drawing. Recorded online discussions from individuals with varied outlooks based on employment, education and beliefs will contribute towards the sound element of the installation. She is currently providing online workshops with two groups at Charnwood Arts alongside Artist James Chantry - to inform the piece; there will be a sharing of thoughts, interactive digital inventions and conversation that will feed into the final work. The final installation will be exhibited later this year at Fearon Hall, Leicester, as a collaboration with the groups and other participants she has worked with.
