Volume One of the PLATFORM 2020: Utterances From The Chorus catalogue traces the curators’ lines of inquiry and the processes and practices of artists and writers, leading up to a multi-week event. The Platform’s live elements occurred February 22 through March 21, 2020. The Platform considered: How do we weave a collective song? How can the voice and body be a site of resistance and transformation? How can we share artistic practices – between artists and between artists and audiences?
