Ever wanted to see, hold, hug your own voice? To experiment with how the collective voice of your City might sound?

PROJECT VEAR is a research mission. It is an exploration. It is searching for a way to harness the power of the collective voice.

We are inviting people from across the city to assist in our search for the ‘Essence de Voix’ -  the undefinable element that lifts voice beyond just sound.

In Oxford Castle and Prison a site haunted by a history of silencing voices, Project VEAR brings voices from across the city together as the ultimate antidote… Voice Park.

A playground for the senses.

Look out for VEARO’s (Voice Extraction And Rediffussion Operators) on the streets of Oxford 8-11th November or join us at Voice Park at Oxford Castle and Prison:
