On the occasion of Living With Ghosts, curated by KJ Abudu at Pace Gallery in London, Pace Live will present a sonic lecture by Dr. Hannah Catherine Jones, artist, scholar, and conductor and founder of the Peckham Chamber Orchestra.

Encompassing language, music, and technology, Dr. Jones’s practice centers on ideas of inclusivity and decolonisation through sound-based performance. Held in partnership with Art in Mayfair, this sonic lecture will take place outdoors in the gardens of Hanover Square, activating the gallery’s local community. An after-hours viewing of the exhibition in the gallery will precede the sonic lecture from 6 – 7 PM.

Jones recently completed her AHRC DPhil Art scholarship at Oxford University for which the ongoing body of work The Oweds was presented as a series of live and recorded, broadcast, audio-visual episode-compositions, using disruptive sound as a methodology of institutional decolonisation and was awarded with no corrections.
