The Fringe and Underground Music Group at Goldsmiths launched a pamphlet/printed edition series entitled Spaces of Making.
Based broadly on themes of physical, digital, social and conceptual/ideological space, the first run of pamphlets features contributions from artists and musicians Charles Hayward, Marlo Delara, Sharon Gal and Richard Phoenix.
The launch event for the pamphlet series, co-hosted by The Lumen Lake, was held from 7:30pm on 11 May 2018 in the Lewisham Arthouse. Event link: www.gold.ac.uk/calendar/?id=11547

How does one reflect on personal memories and choices and locate them in relation to current projections and understandings of self? What would this process visually and aurally entail? By reviewing my personal archives of childhood journals, field recordings, old photographs, and image stills home movies, I distilled and mapped five moments/stages of my life that have catalyzed and instilled my artistic voice. With each of these temporal reflections, I created a sound composition to accompany the making process involved in the memory curation. A multimedia contemporized version of the confessional riot grrl zine genre but formed in a self-retrospective lens.
