About the project

Will’s project Even if your voice trembles is a visual exploration of shame. During his residency, he will visually represent the cultural phenomena of shame in a visual language using interviews, photos, prints and an installation. This is achieved through interviewing people living in Berlin about their experiences with shame. The interviews will be accompanied by photos in which the physical components of shame will be captured, which will then be used to create screen prints and finally he will construct a wall installation comprising of all the created materials.
