BLANK NOISE

Blank Noise - AN art collective focussed on sexual violence - is sort of a house with infinite doors that keep multiplying each time one thing enters or exists.

Blank Noise is in itself AN in progress discussion wherever contributors keep adding new inputs.The result's a complex set of views, that try and mirror what reality really is, as hostile what it ought to be ."It isn't a static method. our goals shift as a result of it's a collective method and it has been au courant by plenty of experiences. we tend to witness different lives, be it street harassment or a rape case, and also the discussion this is evolving, is shifting, is treating, is burning from its past. I do not see art as AN application or as a tool however rather as a language that AN creative person creates," explains Bush.
