Lucy Cathcart Frödén

Lucy Cathcart Frödén is a researcher, linguist and community artist, working primarily in music and sound. Her PhD at the University of Glasgow, entitled ‘Echolocations: exploring integration and the ethics of participation through collaborative songwriting’, sought to better understand how shared creative practice might help foster solidarity and mutual care and how in-between spaces – between languages, cultures, disciplines or art practices – can become common ground. She is currently embarking on a post-doc at the University of Oslo, exploring the complexities of how power operates in prison environments and in prison-based music-making, through a twin focus on sound and narrative.
