Wasn't It Lovely?

<p>Episode transcript available <a href="https://the-west-meeting-room.simplecast.com/episodes/wasnt-it-lovely/transcript" target="_blank">here</a>.</p><p>Connection, Reconnection, Space and Belonging are the themes of the show this week in The West Meeting Room. Braeden hosts the show this week and calls Hart House Stories alumni producers Saba, Nermeen and Sabahat to reconnect across multiple time zones and reminisce about our time working together a year go in the West Meeting Room (the namesake of our show!). We recall a field trip we took to a sound exhibit that summer. As we move through these lonely days longing for connection, we remind ourselves of what it felt like to pile into a small space together and laugh and cry and share our stories with one other. To summon the remembering of that day, we begin the show with a piece by multimedia artist Phoebe Wang, titled "Isn't It Lovely?". It was one of the installations featured in the Resonant Bodies exhibit by Constellations, a collective of sound artists. This piece is an immersive multitrack tapestry of soundscapes and conversations that were bouncing off the walls of a constructed hideout at the exhibit and eventually made its way into our collective memories of a time when togetherness and shared space could coexist with ease. </p><p>To check out Constellations and all of the amazing pieces featured in the Resonant Bodies exhibit that day visit the site below: <a href="https://www.constellationsaudio.com/resonantbodies" target="_blank">www.constellationsaudio.com/resonantbodies</a></p>
