Helen Cammock : The Sound of Words

9 Jul-31 Oct 2019

Overview

Billboard posters in Crown Street. Reading International is pleased to present the final iteration of The Sound of Words, by Helen Cammock. Twelve billboard posters were created as part of the artist-led workshop in association with the exhibition at the Museum of Reading. The texts and images generated by participants are posted to the Crown Street – Southampton Street billboards. The workshop for The Sound of Words sought to address the diverse interpretations of what community means and what people understand by it today. The posters respond to these questions of community – what do we understand by it; what is our stake in it, why our contributions to it can often vary, and why sometimes our individual and community voice can go unheard or unrecognised.
