Helen Frosi's practice pivots around ecological throught, poetics and the environmental, creative, social and political enmeshment of sound, hearing and listening. Her work embodies epistemic pluralism, is facilitatory and necessitates collaborative, cross-disciplinary work, communal projects and collective activities.

 

Helen has exhibited at audiograft festival, Museum of London Docklands and Victoria and Albert Museum amongst others; performed at Cafe OTO, Hundred Years Gallery and Iklectik; curated exhibitions and events for Design Museum, ICA, Full of Noises Festival, London Metropolitan, Sirius (Ireland), V22 and led workshops at the British Museum, Middlesbrough Art Weekender and numerous London universities. She was a founding curator of Longplayer Day, a peripatetic festival of art, ecology and the sonic imagination, alongside James Bulley (2017-2021).

 

Helen is currently Co-Curator of auralpluralities (previously known as AuralDiversities), a project that troubles accepted norms in audio technology, sound culture and Western epistemologies, questioning the extent of human perception, our relation in and through the vibratory world, and whether hearing is ever an individual act (2019-present). She is Founder and Curator of EnCOUnTERs, an interdisciplinary project that encompasses art, ecology and the sonic imagination (2018-present); Director of SoundFjord, an artist-lead nomadic platform for sound art research and praxis (2010-present); and a freelance educator and workshop leader at the British Library, working with their online sound collection.

 

Helen continues as a longstanding honorary research fellow in the Department of Music at Goldsmiths, University of London, (2014-present).
