Photo of mounting: development process for ‘Other Registers’, an immersive sound installation about police violence in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Originally created in May 2016 by Nicolas Espinoza, Tori Holmes, Rafucko [Rafael Puetter] and Samuel van Ransbeeck as part of AHRC-Newton funded project Social Change through Creativity (CreativeLab), curated and produced by HERITAGE, and re-staged in Rio de Janeiro in November 2016, produced by HERITAGE, as part of Social Change through Creativity and Culture Stage 3 (AH/P007252/1, PI HERITAGE).

CreativeLab was curated and delivered in Brazil by HERITAGE, bringing together twenty academics, artists and creative professionals from Brazil and the UK in an an innovative and immersive lab taking place in various parts of the city of Rio de Janeiro over ten days, with the aim of stimulating creative and research-driven responses to social challenges. Among the immersion and orientation events programmed by HERITAGE for the participants was a lecture by Brazilian public security researchers Julita Lemgruber and Luiz Eduardo Soares on the theme of police homicide: the teams also met Eliana Sousa SILVA and visited Maré. Various of the CreativeLab teams responded to the theme of public security in the creative projects they subsequently proposed.

‘Other Registers’ used sonification, SubPac “physical audio” technology and aesthetic design techniques to immerse audiences in an experience communicating the deaths during encounters between police and civilians from 2012 to 2016.

PUBLICATION: Lab Criativo, 2016. Publicly available from the People’s Palace Projects website via ISSUU.

The publication showcases a selection of projects developed during the delivery of the project CreativeLab, which originated from AHRC-funded project Social Change through Creativity and Culture, curated and produced by HERITAGE adapted from a model from the AHRC UK-India project Unbox Labs.
