In the Evening There is Feeling: Listening with Su Shaw

Led by guest artist Su Shaw and DCA’s Exhibitions team, In the Evening There is Feeling is DCA’s reading and listening group. It takes its name from Gertrude Stein’s 1914 book Tender Buttons and focuses, in an informal and welcoming way, on texts from the worlds of art and literature, and selected musical works.

The event and discussion will be led by artist, producer and musician Su Shaw. Over the course of this event, we will spend some time listening closely together to a selection of songs and compositions that influenced the artists, including Tracy Chapman, Ella Fitzgerald, Brittany Howard, Moor Mother and The Paragons.

Digital copies of the track list will be sent out to all participants after they have booked a place. You can listen to the selected music on YouTube and stream it on many other online platforms.

Su Shaw is a Scottish-Portuguese sound artist, musician and producer who creates under the alias, SHHE. Her work explores themes of identity and connection at the intersection of sound, space, environment, and ecology.
