Using the ‘Choir-style’ methodology as a framework this piece intends to showcase the process of collective moments as an outcome in itself. The work talks about the voices and hands that went into its making—the ones that came before, those currently around and those still to come. It emphasizes the notion of lending one’s voice to a collective voice, thus obfuscating individual authorship, and instead places oneself as entangled in one’s surroundings. Here students from the Sandberg Design Department come together with singers from the Swedish Festivities Choir. Borrowing from choir as a collective structure, and as a member of both groups, Sara Nygård takes the role of the conductor through rehearsing a score developed with the participants. While finding the moments of dissonance it looks at harmony in similarities. By focusing on sharing experiences using finger-knitting while voicing as a medium, also as a cue to explore how to voice when, thereby indicating how a participant’s presence entangles into the bigger collective. The work explores the ephemeral elements of these groups, a temporality and limitation of who can participate—to highlight the difficulty in capturing the layers that consist in its designing. Made with a group constructed of two groups that will never be in the same constellation again, the project is designed to be unmade and remade. This piece invites a rethinking of authorship, clarity, and control—favoring messy, layered processes where design becomes an event rather than a fixed outcome. While asking the question, “Who gets to be a part of the choir?”.
