Hearing Voices is a body of work by John Wynne based on highly endangered 'click languages' spoken by the indigenous Khoi and San peoples in the Kalahari Desert. The project includes an 8-channel photographic sound installation and an award-winning half-hour composed documentary for BBC Radio 3 described as "a capricious sound world where aural objects shift and surprise" (Resonance Magazine). Originally designed to accompany the exhibition, 'Hearing Voices: Speakers/Languages' is an interactive app containing sound recordings, photographs, interviews, maps and information.
