A research collective comprised of Dr. Kim Munro, Dr. Stayci Taylor and myself, Symphony of Awkward works with the art and science of diarology™. We seek to repurpose one’s own archive in the name of new research and creative practices through live and audio works. We are continually prototyping queer and agile methods that see us repurpose diarological practices in ways that speak to us today by fostering associative leaps and communal meaning-making.

Our outputs include Sonic Dystonic in Sonic Field, Note to self: a pandemic is a great time to keep a diary, plus 4 tips for success in The Conversation, Symphony of Awkward with Sammy J for ABC Breakfast, as well as several appearances at critical autoethnography conferences and a forthcoming scholarly book publication.
