October 1, 2026 — If you like rice, you’ll understand – Collective Noise is a new project by Andrew Pierre Hart (CRF 2026) opening today, October 1st in collaboration with iniva (Institute of International Visual Arts) and Chelsea Space, Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London (UAL).
if you like rice, you’ll understand – Collective Noise draws on Stuart Hall’s cultural studies and pedagogical legacy to explore sound as a form of learning and cultural exchange. Bringing together painting, photography, moving image, text and sound, the project considers how knowledge travels through everyday practices, informal gatherings, and sonic experiences.
Developed through personal travel, artistic research, and ongoing engagement with the Stuart Hall Library, Andrew will examine the relationship between sound and diasporic experiences, inviting audiences to reflect on how cultural knowledge is produced and shared across communities.
The public programm will be used as the framework to explore gatherings and collective spaces for learning as modes of action outside of the country’s current political rhetoric. Using iniva and Chelsea Space as catalysts for experimentation and reflection, Andrew will consider how different ways of coming together might be imagined and experienced.
Upcoming events include the opening tonight; The Listening Sweet, an evening of sound, collaboration and coming together on October 22nd; and TrAIN Open Lecture and Publication Launch on November 25th.

Complimenti, Andrew!
