James Hazel is a composer, artist, and researcher working between unceded Gadigal Land and Naarm. Moving across video, text, voice and sound, James’ practice explores how score-based and listening forms can render the classed, and hauntological conditions of late capitalism audible. In this regard, his work treats the ear as a site of radical sociological praxis.
James is the founder of POOR OPERA, an organisation that creates precarious operas, facilitates community workshops, produces publications, and builds support networks for working-and-under-class artists.
