Scoring your continuum with Stèphanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe
This workshop will explore the interconnectedness of sound and visual imagery - how one can spark the other, and how over time, they can be forever combined. Utilising a combination of available and self-supplied materials, participants are invited to create two graphic scores - one to take home and one to leave a trace in the exhibition. The score you leave in the space transcribes your response to the exhibition and the score you take home interprets and becomes part of the soundscape of your world. For your take home score, we invite you to bring photographs, cut out images, fabric and small objects to weave into it.
Stéphanie Kabanyana Kanyandekwe is a Rwandan-British composer and multidisciplinary artist. Through her viewpoint as a synaesthetic “third-culture kid,” her research-based arts practice investigates the construction and archiving of culture through transcription into visual languages. Stéphanie uses music and performance practice to articulate these languages in a tangible, storytelling format, which enables cultural context to remain and be respected. Stéphanie has been commissioned by organisations including NGV, Liquid Architecture, Melbourne Recital Centre, Arts Centre Melbourne, Musica Viva, MONA, ArtsHouse, ArtPlay, Next Wave Festival, Seventh Gallery, Noir Darkroom; MSO, Orchestra Victoria; and for curators such as Brook Andrew, Ben Opie, and Shivanjani Lal.Stéphanie researches, writes and presents Passenger, a weekly show focused on the Global History of Music broadcast on ABC Classic to an international audience.
