speakerspeaker is a platform for experimental writing, critical dialogue, conversation, spoken word and sound art works. Each issue forms in two parts: a printed journal and a podcast, published three times a year. The journal seeks to open up topics present in current art discourse.
Each issue approaches a different theme or politic through a collection of different voices. Combining emerging and unpublished writers alongside established and published writers, speakerspeaker seeks to gain a multiplicity of viewpoints, thoughts and approaches to writing; this in turn complicates the theme of each journal to productive and generative means creating new perspectives. Each journal includes a wide range of genres, from poetry to critical essay, graphic texts to manifestos, fiction to observational writing, scripts to scores. Each podcast contains an interview or conversation around the topic of the journal, and the inclusion of spoken word and sound art works from both emerging and established artists and musicians.
