The Listening Room
Exeter Custom House, Exeter, EX2 4AN
Friday 26th June 2026
A Considerate Society event produced by Art Work Exeter.
Join dual heritage sound artist Somatic with his Sutra sound system and special guests as they consider the relationship between listening and life stories. This deep listening and conversation experience will invite three members of the Exeter community to share moments of their lives through music.
Taking inspiration from local and international Salon culture of the past and present, The Considerate Society will convene 6 artist and community-led gatherings over the weekend of 26th-28th June. Each event has been carefully designed to consider some of the pressing themes and questions that have arisen during Art Work Exeter’s time as cultural partners at Exeter Custom House. This exciting weekend takeover invites local people from all walks of life to come together through good hospitality and cultural celebration, to consider some of the things that really matter to us.
Each evening salon is offered with a Pay What You Can/ Donation admission, ensuring they are accessible while offering you the opportunity to directly support the artists and production company, which is not-for-profit.
There will be event-appropriate refreshments available before and during the event.
