First in a series of work from collective Sister. 

Commissioned by Radiophrenia, 'Hotline' was a live-to-brodcast performance at the CCA combining soundbites, poetry and pre-recorded interviews exploring mixed race identity in Scotland. It was created to work in a live environment with a present audience and also for an audience of listeners at home.

Hotline has also been performed at Glasgow Women's Library as part of Herland curated by Collect:if and at Tramway as part of Project X's symposium.

“Where are you really from?” and other questions we hate. The first in a series of projects from new collective Sister. Through the use of interviews, poetry and music they will explore what it means to grow up mixed race in Glasgow and the struggle to form a cohesive identity with no solid community. This performance provides an introduction to their work and to a subject which is very seldom explored within the context of Glasgow. This piece is inspired by Wole Soyinka’s ‘Telephone Conversation’ and the work of Nayyirah Waheed. Glaswegian duo Cassie Ezeji and Siobhain Ma make up `Sister`, a creative collective who explore the experiences and challenges facing mixed race Scottish women. Ezeji and Ma are childhood friends and share respective backgrounds in music and sound art. `Sister` sees the pair turn their attention to their experiences growing up mixed race in Glasgow. Their work focuses on microaggressions encountered by biracial women along with questions of identity and establishing a connection with their respective fatherlands (Nigeria, Hong Kong, Ireland and Scotland) from a distance.
