Hannan Jones
Hannan Jones delves into ideas surrounding hybridity, language, cultural and social rhythms associated with migration, and psycho-geography. Across sound, sculpture, installation, and moving images, she seeks to foster ‘togetherness’ creating spaces to expand perspectives. A 2023 Oram Award winner and graduate of Glasgow School of Art, past projects – presented internationally – retrace free speech movements, highlight survival tactics, and examine ways to navigate and occupy public space to subvert economic and environmental precarity. Sonically, she uses improvisation, electronics, musique concrète, and analogue recordings, employing sampling and audio layering, to create alternate narratives and reclaim parallel histories.
