"Responsive Audience" is a blog run and managed by Taya Hanauer. It features critical reviews engaging with local and international art and cultural events including exhibitions, lectures, conferences, and discussions. The reviews are formulated as engaged responses which look into the premises of the subject matter, it’s contextualization within the field, and the position of the creator.
