We have a feature episode of creative audio responses: people making a different kind of noise in response to gendered violence in Australia.
Sydney composer and vocalist, Andrée Greenwell, invited lyric contributions from a number of female Australian writers: Donna Abela, Eunice Andrada, Ali Cobby Eckermann, Alison Croggon, and Candy Royalle. With five other vocalists and eleven musicians, these lyrics evolved into sonic pieces.
There is mention of violence and sexual assault in this episode. If you or anyone you know would like to have a confidential chat with someone about domestic violence, please call the National Sexual Assault, Domestic Family Violence helpline on 1800 737 732 or 1800 RESPECT.
