Interstitial Listenings V: Charles Uzor's Bodycam Exhibit 3, Part II
-
Published:January 2025
This chapter returns to Uzor’s Bodycam Exhibit 3 to uncover what emerges in this piece when thinking and listening in this transformed way, as the previous chapters have proposed. Bodycam Exhibit 3 problematizes the structure of the archive, sovereignty, and narrativization through its unique musical score—it uses audio recordings from the bodycam and bystander footage—as well as by way of its musical dramaturgy. In the end, the piece opens an alternate way of engaging this event of antiblack brutality/murder as a mere passive observer in an antiblack world, asking listeners to listen with and for those that have no voice, who are erased, unthought, and/or who have been killed.
