PIP TAPES

2022

PIP Tapes is a collaborative project led by sound artist Gemma Nash. It explores the journey of disability rights, the role of the cassette tape in crip culture and its use as a tool of resistance & record.

In collaboration with Deaf performance artist Chisato Minamimura, the initial sound piece evolves into an experimental 'visual soundtrack', with the aim to see sound as well as hear it.
