Joshua Tarelle Reid & Ross Alexander Payne are Berlin-based artists from the North of England who work expansively with sound and sonic materials to explore themes such as labor, collective memory, intersections of class politics, and the social history of music subcultures. Joshua Tarelle Reid is a visual and sound artist living between Paris and Berlin. He is best known as one half of the experimental music duo Space Afrika. Ross Alexander Payne’s broad ranging practice spans sound art, music, visual arts, performance, radio art, installation, digital media, intervention, social practice, and education.

To Have Been A Part (Where Are We Today...) is an installation which uses spoken recordings of a selection of comments from online videos documenting British rave culture from the 1980s and 90s. The sound installation was first shown in 2024 outside the club Tresor on the building’s facade. Now relocated to CCA’s exhibition space adjacent to the Memorial Church, the work’s meaning shifts drastically, allowing its social historical context to unfold in a new site-specific setting.
