BELLY OF THE BEAST - AUDIO ARCHIVE
2021
This archive has been set up as a substitute for the dedicated website that Belly of the Beast had during it’s tenure as a part of Art in Odd Places: NORMAL. Although the project is currently ‘in hibernation,’ I look forward to revamping it in the future, with new audio and modes of public engagement.
Participants responded to the prompt ‘ What do you need to scream about?’ All contributions are anonymous, labeled only by key words and date.
