Make Noise

An immersive voice-driven experience inspired by the Suffragette movemen

Your voice is a tool. What will you use it to create?

Developed with BBC VR Hub, Make Noise draws on original Suffragette archives to retell how a small group of women sparked one of the most important movements in history.

Make Noise is an immersive, interactive experience where participants use their own voice to move through a series of vivid, abstract environments — each representing a stage of the struggle, from frustration and resistance to collective action and victory.

Blending historical archive with contemporary immersive design, the work invites audiences to reflect on what it means to speak up in a world that doesn’t always listen.

Mesmerising, profound and playful, Make Noise empowers participants to follow Emmeline Pankhurst’s famous lines: “You have to make more noise than anybody else, you have to make yourself more obtrusive than anybody else, you have to fill all the papers more than anybody else, in fact you have to be there all the time and see that they do not snow you under.”

Use the power of your voice to break through the barriers faced by the Suffragettes in their fight for women’s right to vote.

“You’re asked not just to look but to use your mind and your voice. I think that focus on the voice and your own engagement with it is incredible.”
