Who gets to tell the story?

In Deaf Republic, Dead Centre explores what happens when a community comes under pressure and new forms of communication and resistance emerge. The Museum of Small and Overlooked Things takes a different starting point, focusing on the small stories and everyday objects that adults so often overlook.

Together with Professor Alice Lagaay, Chair of the Arts, Culture & Society programme at the University of Groningen, Bush Moukarzel (Dead Centre) and Andy Field (The Museum of Small and Overlooked Things) discuss what it means to be heard. Can silence itself become a form of expression or resistance? How do societies decide which voices matter? And what role can art play in creating space for stories that often remain unheard—from children, from marginalised communities, and from people whose voices are not automatically listened to?

A conversation about what we choose to preserve, representation, and the political power of attention.

Host: Rosie Reith
