Listenings was created in response to the No Dakota Access Pipeline Movement on the Standing Rock Reservation. Sarah reached out to Lakota-Sioux artist Cannupa Hanska Luger during this time, asking what can folks do in the UK? The answer was to divest from big banks supporting the pipeline, leverage access to press and educational institutions, and listen to the demands, experiences, and voices of the water protectors. Sarah and Benito then collaborated on creating a listening headpiece, inspired and in response to Hanska Luger’s work Everything Anywhere and Rebecca Belmore’ Speaking to Their Mother which feature sculptural amplification of Native voices. During this time, Sarah read and met with Buddhist teachers offering their perspectives on listening as a practice. Finally, Sarah gathered a collection of on-the-ground media, audio clips, and stories created by the water protectors, including audio of the winter night the police fired water canons at the peaceful protectors. For three hours, Sarah played these listenings in a university lobby, wearing the listening device headpiece, moving in a listening score. All those who encountered the work were given a call-to-listen handout on how to support the water protectors. Sarah secured funds to bring Cannupa to Oxford University to present on his work and the No DAPL Movement.
