Sonic Transitions: Auditory Stories of Female New Immigrants in Hong Kong
聲音穿梭:香港女性新移⺠的聽覺故事

“Sonic Transitions: Auditory Stories of Female New Immigrants in Hong Kong” is a sound art exhibition exploring how female new immigrant artists use sound to express personal auditory narratives intertwined with urban life.

The exhibition features 10 new works created by 12 artists. Using sound as the primary medium, these works transform auditory memories into artistic expressions, presenting a rich array of cultural and emotional narratives.

Focusing on “transition,” the exhibition examines female mobility, listening, and sonic expression in public spaces. The artworks simulate the flow and intersection of sonic elements across shifting contexts, constructing a dynamic auditory space for continuous dialogue where the works of female artists intertwine, allowing sound to wander and flow through the space. This fosters invisible exchanges and interactions, forming a multi-layered network of sonic narratives.

Audiences are invited to immerse themselves in the auditory space through movement and perception, becoming integral to the sonic transitions. By engaging with sound's emotional and mnemonic dimensions, participants experience resonance and connection within the flow of sonic elements and their interplay.

《聲音穿梭:香港女性新移民的聽覺故事》是一場聚焦於聲音藝術的展覽,探索女性新移民藝術家如何透過聲音這一媒介,表達個人經歷與城市生活相互交織的聽覺敘事。12位女性藝術家以聲音為核心媒介,創作出10件全新的藝術作品,將她們的聽覺記憶轉化為藝術表達,呈現多元的文化與情感視角。

展覽以「穿梭」為主要概念,關注女性在公共空間中的移動、聆聽與表達,不同藝術作品的聲音模擬聲音在不同情境中的流動與交匯,構建出一個在展覽空間中持續對話的聲音場域,作品相互交織,聲音在空間內徘徊、流動,形成一種無形的交流與對話,創造出多層次的聲音敘事網絡。

展覽邀請觀眾以移動與感知的方式融入聲音場域,成為聲音穿梭的一部分,感受聲音傳遞的情感與記憶,在聲音的流動中體驗多層次的共鳴與連結。
