The sound of art with Sonia Boyce

Representing Britain at the Venice Biennale

The artist Sonia Boyce has just won the top prize at the Venice Biennale, the Olympics of the art world, where she has been representing Great Britain in a commission for the British Council.

Sonia is a multidisciplinary practitioner known for working with audio, video, wallpaper and print. For this project she has been collaborating with four female singers at the famous Abbey Road studios in London, recording a piece of sonic art. It’s part of her award-winning exhibition in Venice called Feeling Her Way.

Join the Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ’s Anna Bailey as she follows Sonia on her artistic journey from recording, installing and opening her work at the British Pavilion.
