As part of the associated events programme for Shell-Lit Siambr, writers Amy Pettifer and Jennifer Boyd (SHELL LIKE) present an hour long programme of audio works by UK and International artists and writers. Weaving threads from the exhibition and imagery from Leonora Carrington’s short story, ‘The Happy Corpse’, the programme explores how a body speaks when it is no longer a body; when it is engulfed by desire, lost to death, solitude or sleep, transformed by the earth, split apart by language or left as limpid vocal residue on an object. Carrington writes, ‘being full of holes and dents, the corpse could speak out of any part of its body.’ The Mouth Is A Fossil, Bog Buried And Glowing Blue considers the resonances of this voice. Featuring works by Bethan Lloyd Worthington, Tai Shani, Grace Schwindt, Caroline Bergvall, Hannah Regel and Luke Walker, Octavia Bright, Nisha Ramayya, Harriet Moore, and Jade Montserrat.
