"This year’s edition of Frieze London features a research-based activation by Ben Swaby Selig, Curatorial Fellow with V&A East, drawing upon Jamaican sonic cultures and archival recordings from East London and Jamaica to explore notions of collective memory. In collaboration with filmmaker Hannah Oliver, multiple sound stations placed throughout the fair will encourage playful migration and active listening, lifting intricate local histories from an area that has experienced rapid gentrification since its redevelopment into the Olympic Park. The activation at Frieze will mark the first iteration of Selig’s Sound Clash, one of the events forming part of V&A East’s live back2back live programming strand prior to its opening in 2025."
