A performative installation that explores the act of listening as a form of care.

As part of ‘Views from Convalescent Hill’, in Spring of this year, artist Dana Olărescu explored the project's themes alongside eight creative collaborators. The need for ways to offer mutual support and offer safe spaces to one another emerged as a collective priority, with the group identifying the former Community Listening Service, previously hosted at Felixstowe Library, as a much-missed form of community connection.   

‘All Ears: A Community Listening Station’, takes these ideas and presents them through a performative installation. Playful and whimsical, ‘All Ears’ will function as a tranquil haven for individuals seeking an open and non-judgmental space to express themselves. Dana will offer listening sessions on designated days across Felixstowe, warmly welcoming visitors through a creative rather than clinical approach.
