Voicing Objects is a new exhibition at Great North Museum: Hancock set to bridge the gap between past and present by revealing how historical objects can uphold or challenge patriarchy.
At the centre of the exhibition is a new moving image artwork by artist and Newcastle University associate lecturer Olivia Turner created in response to selected artefacts from the Shefton Collection of Greek Art and Archaeology that relate to women's lives in the ancient world.
Olivia's artwork is accompanied by an improvised soundtrack created in close collaboration with vocal rehabilitation expert Pippa Anderson that explores the voice as a method for care, expression and healing.
