“In recent days, noise/sound seems to be an index of measuring public spirit. When we have no way of measuring silence, perhaps it is important to hold a space for quietude,” reads the open call for Pallavi Paul’s Share Your Quiet ongoing project, which invites people to share 10-second audio recordings of their everyday moments of ‘quiet’ so that they may be compiled together by the artist. “In silence things churn, relationships change, and ideas are born,” she holds.
