Our mission statement

Founded by soprano Juliet Fraser in 2017, eavesdropping is an artist-run charitable organisation whose tentacular model of activity is motivated by intersectional feminism. eavesdropping is a platform for the sharing of new music and new ways of thinking about music. Excited by experimentalism, we create space for artists and audiences to practise engaged listening and compassionate debate. Our activity includes a festival, a forum, a podcast, and artist development opportunities. Our mission is to build community through an ethics of curiosity and care, in the belief that ripples do make waves. 

Our sustainability policy

An eavesdropping survival kit

Inspired by Sara Ahmed's 'Killjoy Survival Kit' (in her book Living a Feminist Life) we have put together some  resources to sustain and strengthen the eavesdropping community. One inspired the very creation of eavesdropping; all have inspired significant conversations or new strands to our activity, and may help you as makers of music, thinkers of bold ideas and harbingers of marvellous change.
