The Right to Make Noise

Sound has the capacity to heal, move, gather, and grow that which it touches. It can serve as a rallying cry or as an opportunity for self expression. If loud enough, it can serve as both a weapon and an inebriant. The Right to Make Noise argues that the role of sound is inherent to collective gathering and unification, and must be employed to both construct and disrupt public space, which may be defined by the boundary of a sound’s reach.
