Echoing with a Difference–Curating Voices and the Politics of Participation, probes participatory curatorial practices that entail agonistic relations, embodying, voicing and instigating conflicts. Taking the global wave of the post-financial crisis protests in 2011 as an entry point, the book critically discusses the protests’ impact on participatory artistic and curatorial prac­tices, and the ambivalent manifestations of this impact in collective vocal utterings. In an intimate, reflexive account, Maayan Sheleff scrutinizes her own cura­­torial projects and others, examining how they respond to changes in per­ceptions of identity and to the silencing of alternative voices. Focusing on both the potential power as well as the challenges of participation, she reexamines participatory practices that make use of the human voice between the conversational to the antagonistic, leading to as an ex­plo­ra­tion of the curatorial voice and the challenges that it meets between medi­ation and authorship, as an instigator, collaborator or traitor.
