Post 4: "Voicing the Unheard" /Audio Recording Soundscape

 This intervention invites parents to share their personal stories through short audio recordings submitted via QR codes in diverse community spaces. The recordings will form a public soundscape that highlights the shared struggles and expectations of parents across income levels. Its goal is to make these often-invisible voices heard and felt in public spaces.

- Does it need to be bolted down? Secured? - Will it be lit with a spotlight? Or does it appear discarded? - Does it take a physical shape, or is it ephemeral in nature? - What is the significance of its form? - Does that form change over time? - How long will your project be displayed?

The project will be installed on the wall, with QR codes and listening stations securely mounted but not bolted down, allowing flexibility for future relocation. It will be spotlighted. The soundscape itself is ephemeral as it fills the space with shifting layers of voices rather than taking a fixed physical form. This surreal quality reflects the fleeting, overlapping experiences of parenting. Over time, as new recordings are added, the soundscape evolves to include fresh voices and perspectives. The installation will remain on display for approximately (and ideally) one month, allowing time for community interaction and contribution. The preferred location would be in a library space.
