The project is designed to support participants to try out new approaches, develop confidence, learn from artists and facilitators, and take part in a creative environment where different levels of experience are welcome. It also aims to build a wider network of people interested in sound, art, performance, music, recording, and experimental practice.

This form asks for your media consent for the materials captured. We appreciate the time you dedicate to complete it. Please get in touch via the contact form of this site if you have and questions.

As part of the project, we may document workshops, performances, discussions, exercises, group activity, and creative outcomes. This documentation helps us:

• record what happened during the project;

• reflect on and evaluate the workshops;

• share selected outcomes with participants and audiences;

• promote future activity;

• support participants, artists, and facilitators;

• demonstrate the value of the project to funders, partners, and supporters;

• create a useful project archive and legacy;

• develop future opportunities, publications, events, recordings, and collaborations.

Some material may be used internally for review, evaluation, reporting, archiving, and project learning. Some selected material may also be shared publicly through websites, social media, printed materials, funding applications, presentations, audio/video platforms, or project publications.

We will not share raw or unedited media folders publicly. Instead, we aim to use a curated selection of approved material that reflects the project respectfully and clearly.

Worlding Soundings brings Acoustic Survey Art Lab into the Worlding Project’s residency programme, creating days centred around sound, listening and experimentation. Alongside Acoustic Survey Art Lab, the residencies bring together Worlding project instructors, visiting improvisers and musicians, with workshops, interventions, improvisation and shared activity unfolding throughout the day.

During the project, we may collect:

• photographs;

• video;

• audio recordings;

• group sound-making and performance recordings;

• workshop documentation;

• written comments, reflections, captions or feedback;

• transcripts or notes;

• images or recordings of creative work made during the session.

Some material may clearly identify you. Other material may be group-based or non-identifying, such as collective sound recordings where no individual person can reasonably be picked out.

We may use selected approved material for:

• internal project documentation, review, evaluation and archive;

• reports to funders, partners and supporters;

• funding applications and advocacy;

• public project publicity;

• websites, newsletters and social media;

• printed project materials, such as flyers, posters, booklets, zines, programmes, reports or catalogues;

• audio/video publication on platforms such as Bandcamp, YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, project websites or similar outlets;

• donation-based or pay-what-you-can releases;

• presentations, talks, case studies or project legacy material;

• sharing selected outcomes with participants and audiences.

We will not normally share raw or unedited media folders publicly. We aim to use a curated selection of material that represents the project respectfully and clearly.

The project may include group sound-making, improvisation, performance, discussion, recording exercises and shared creative activity.

Some recordings may include contributions from several participants at once. In some cases, individual people may not be identifiable from the final edited material.

Where a person is clearly identifiable by their face, voice, name, distinctive contribution, solo performance or surrounding context, we will take extra care when selecting and using material.

We will aim to avoid unnecessary candid images of participants in small groups where people are clearly identifiable.

Where possible, group photographs will be staged or clearly announced, so people can choose not to be included.

We may use selected official images for project publicity and documentation. We do not normally share full image folders with participants.

Where selected images are made available to participants, they should only be used to talk about the project, their involvement, or related creative practice. Participants should not tag, identify or focus on other participants without their permission.

One aim of this project is to support participants, artists, facilitators and others to develop their creative practice and visibility.

From time to time, we may wish to feature or promote individual participants, artists, facilitators or contributors more directly. This could include interviews, profiles, case studies, artist features, portfolio links, social media spotlights, blog posts, audio/video features or future opportunities.

This will not happen automatically through this form. If you would like to be featured, credited, promoted, linked to, interviewed or considered for future opportunities, please contact us separately.

Some audio, video or creative material may be published through platforms such as Bandcamp, YouTube, Vimeo, SoundCloud, project websites or similar outlets.

This may include donation-based releases, pay-what-you-can access, streaming, downloads or online publication.

This consent does not create an automatic royalty, fee or payment entitlement.

Any donations or modest income received may be used to support the project, future sessions, documentation, access costs or related creative activity.

If we wish to use material in a more substantial commercial way, or if significant income is expected, this will be discussed separately with the people materially involved.

You can withdraw your consent at any time by contacting us via the contact form on the bottom.

If you withdraw consent, we will stop using identifiable photographs, video, audio, quotes or other media involving you in new publicity, advocacy, publication or promotional material wherever reasonably practicable.

Where material has already been published or shared, we will make reasonable efforts to remove, replace, crop, edit, anonymise or stop using identifiable material involving you from channels under our direct control.

However, it may not always be possible to fully remove material that has already been:

• printed;

• submitted to funders or partners;

• included in completed reports or funding applications;

• distributed publicly;

• downloaded, copied, reposted or shared by others;

• published by press, partners or third-party platforms;

• archived as part of project, legal, audit, charity, financial or funder records.

Withdrawing consent does not affect use that has already taken place before consent was withdrawn.

Unless a separate written agreement is made, we will not:

• sell individual portraits or images of you as standalone commercial image products;

• license your image, voice or likeness to unrelated third parties for commercial advertising;

• present your individual contribution as a solo release or separate commercial product without discussing it with you;

• upload identifiable participant material to open-licence platforms such as Wikimedia Commons;

• use sensitive personal information about you without your clear permission;

• knowingly use material in a misleading, discriminatory, exploitative or damaging context.
