Out loud – A reading by John Newling in relation to his project, ‘Make a Piano in Spain’.

‘Out loud’ is the first public reading of the 500 texts collected in response to the question, “what do you do to make yourself feel better?”

Saying something out loud is a particularly public action that seems to transform the materiality of the text. The ‘Out loud’ event will be a reading of a very human diagnosis: funny, revealing and moving.
