i’m no longer listening is a performative lecture, captured as an audio work, written and performed by Conner Milliken. This newly commissioned piece explores queer nostalgia and generational inheritance through notions of the self. The work combines critical theory, memoir, and autofiction, accompanied by a digital soundscape, and takes the listener through fragmented narratives: of queer theory, of falling in and out of love, of family. I’m no longer listening asks the listener what queerness means to us in the present, and how might we get to another present together.

Sound design by Cameron Howard.

i’m no longer listening was comissioned as part of From Here a Home Was Imagined, a film programme by CCA Glasgow curated by Donald Butler. 

This programme was supported by Film Hub Scotland, part of the BFI’s Film Audience Network, and funded by Screen Scotland and Lottery funding from the BFI.
