A sound commission by Arianne Churchman & Benedict Drew
The Limitless Field is a radiophonic space, a dream, an active dismantling of borders and a redrawing of lines. Emerging from worlds within this world, we take up ploughs, drawing new lines between traditions and acts of resistance. We travel through winter customs and traditions, stopping at points of misrule and role reversal. Our lines draw new relations, not of upwards power, but of lines that draw across to support and empower. We dismantle the field's borders, and begin our limitless dreaming.
