Paloma Proudfoot's A festival of ugly sounds, a solo exhibition of new ceramic, bronze, and textile works is on now at the approach, Bethnal Green.

The exhibition investigates the gendered histories and cultural associations of vocal utterances, examining how sound shapes identity, emotion, and communication.

"My earliest memory is of biting my older brother in a rage when my request for orange squash wasn’t being understood. Maybe he was wilfully pretending not to understand what I meant by pointing at the juice bottle – too high for me to reach – hoping I’d give up and stop pestering him." - Paloma Proudfoot (4-031)
