Portable Sound Booth Project Opens at the Center for Experimental Humanities

The Center for Experimental Humanities (EH) at Bard is now hosting its Portable Sound Booth, an enclosure designed to collect thoughts from the Bard and wider Hudson Valley communities about the 2024 election cycle. Inspired by NPR’s StoryCorps oral history project, the booth was designed by Bard student and Media Corps intern Inju Keum ’26, and was funded by the Experimental Humanities Collaborative Network. Interviews or self recordings will be anonymous and will focus on the ways media shapes, informs, and produces conditions for engaging with politics by considering the build up to the election, the inauguration, and finally its aftermath. The Portable Sound Booth at EH will be documenting student, staff, and faculty thoughts over the next year for a Bard archive. 

The booth is open on the following dates:
Saturday, Oct. 26, from 12:30 to 3:30 pm for Family and Alumni/ae Weekend
Wednesday, Oct. 30, from 2 to 5 pm for screen printing at Experimental Humanities
Friday, Nov. 1, from 4 to 7 pm for the Harvest Party at Bard Farm
Tuesday, Nov. 5, from 12 to 2 pm for Election Day at the Campus Center
