An experimental 8mm film. This fictionalized narrative, rooted in the personal experience of partial hearing loss, explores the relationship between silence and sound, exposing the oppression of normative hearing and seeking a language beyond the phonocentric order. The work is an introduction to a larger project on audism and sound democracy. Inspired by Sara Ahmed’s concept of the “feminist ear” – listening as an act of resistance against violence and exclusion. The film was created during an artistic residency at ArtInkubator Goyki3 in Sopot.
