Side Dish asked writers around the world to consider domestic actions that mean something to them. The Voices in the Back of Your Head will be delivered to you as audio pieces on their website, served with a set of simple instructions for domestic activities to carry out while listening.

“The ‘untidiness’ of the annotations is something we are, as a group, very proud of. We feel it captures the essence of our own unique brain languages which, in turn, has formed the heart of our piece.”
