DUET
DUET is a year’s worth of anonymous personal exchanges between people in India and the UK, across an app, an interactive web platform, and a series of public art works about finding space for reflection, expression, and connection in our daily lives. DUET Live is an immersive sound installation through which audiences can explore messages and questions that have gone back and forth between both countries. Take time out of your day to drift into DUET. You can also contribute your own responses.
This project responds to UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
