Artist Sarah Ross (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) is seeking Francophone Africans who will read a short script for a recording for an art installation.
The project is titled "From the Bottomlands to the World" and it will be on view at the Little Black Pearl in Hyde Park at the beginning of June, 2012. The project is about the town of Beardstown, IL where many people from across the globe have come to work. Sarah is collaborating with artist Ryan Griffis and urban planner Faranak Miraftab. Together, they have met and interviewed many West African families in Beardstown. This audio-component of the project comes from these interviews. The installtion will use photos and audio that tell stories of coming and going. The audio script is about 2000 words and includes quotes from Central and South Americans, West Africans, white towns people in Beardstown, a farmer and a scholar.
You do not need to be a professional voice actor! Just interested and willing to share your time!
It will take about 40 minutes to record the script. All recordings must be completed before May 15.
