Susannah Worth is a writer, editor and facilitator whose practice spans art criticism, personal essay and the creation of welcoming spaces for socially anxious and introverted people, including her monthly craft circles in London.

Jonathan Hoskins is a visual artist, writer and researcher; his PhD investigated collaborative hosting, intimate social spheres and social art practice in Japan, and his work moves across objects, text, performance and social projects.

Together, they make projects with recurrently since 2010 for various art institutions in London, that asks how we can be together better, favouring depth, slowness and genuine encounter. They are drawn to questions of chosen belonging, mutual care and the small rituals – around food, making and conversation – through which people sustain one another.

“Marin Sound Archives was completed during our artist residency at Made in Sat. In this project we explored the impact of London as an intense sensory environment on our collaborative practice, as two sound-sensitive people. Throughout the residency I gathered sound recordings from spaces in and around Marin to investigate its aural environment and its profound contrast with that of London. Many of these recordings featured local creative practitioners, such as traditional Romanian needlecraft experts, facilitated by Made in Sat. I then edited and mixed these recordings into a draft, documentary sound work, together with text written and performed by Susannah. To conclude the residency, we created a hosted space to share and reflect upon this sound work with the other practitioners in residence.”
