In the context of Listening All Night to the Rain by John Akomfrah, artist Hannah Kemp-Welch presents Listening to Transmissions, a proposal that invites the public to interact with the exhibition. Participants can select sounds within the works while also adding their own using microphones and short-range radio transmitters. As they move around the gallery, they enter different zones of broadcast from others, creating combinations of sounds that blend with the works and form unique layers of transmission and delay.

Drawing on Kemp-Welch’s focus on listening as a form of social action, the activity invites visitors to explore the interplay of receiving and transmitting, and to consider how listening and sounding together shapes the experience of the exhibition.
