About

Geopolyphonies is a collective of curators, artists and writers consisting of current and graduate students from Goldsmiths Visual Cultures and Cultural Studies department. Interested in exploring ideas that surround place and space, both public and private we formed in spring 2009 and have maintained consistent contact ever since. In short Geopolyphonies defines a practice concerned with exploring issues on formal and informal econimies, location and geographical relationships to territory - as a collective we are equally a series of individuals, as we are a polyphonic whole.
