provides a fitting context for the Voices Project.
Webb is interested in the way in which architecture can act as a reservoir
for memory, accumulating the unseen residues of the actions, words, and
thoughts that it has enclosed. The Voices Project arose directly from the loss
of these solid architectural forms, and with them, the memories and social
histories they had shaped and contained. In a new choral project, Lapides
Vivi (Living Stones), Webb will establish a choir for the duration of the festival,
to explore the relationship between lives lived and the stones which have
embraced them.
