We See You: Remarkable Ordinary Women is an hour long collection of emotive audio works, making visible the lives of ‘invisible’ ordinary women and the legacy that they left behind.

The installation is in audio format with ambient lighting, featuring music and sounds written, recorded and produced by composer/songwriter Sarah Dew, with recorded contributions from field recordists and guest singers (members of Scarborough band Raven). 

 

‘We See You’ is about the legacy of ordinary women and their remarkable contributions. It considers 180 years of female emancipation in the UK, from 1846 onwards. It observes individuals, society and different walks of life, from literary giant Anne Brontë (first published in 1846), unassuming gardeners and second-hand shop owners, to pilots in WW2 and the increasing number of female astronauts. 

 

The audio comprises songs, instrumental music, soundscapes and spoken word. It is installed in St Mary’s Church, Scarborough, beneath spectacular uplit gothic arches. It includes printed text to enhance the experience and to enable hearing impaired audience members to fully access the lyrics. It is suitable for older children upwards.
