In this episode, I speak with Joseph Young, a multidisciplinary artist whose work spans installations, sound walks, performances, site-specific interventions, and film. With exhibitions across the UK, Ireland, Europe, Asia, and the USA, Joseph’s artistic voice has resonated in spaces ranging from abandoned buildings and car parks to the Houses of Parliament and Wall Street.
Before his transition into visual and sound art, Joseph spent 20 years as an actor, performing in some of the UK’s most beloved musicals, including Blood Brothers and Oliver!. In 2008, he founded the NeoFuturist Collective, an artist group that celebrated urban noise and the vibrant, often chaotic pulse of city life.
Today, Joseph’s focus has evolved toward stillness and reflection through his project “Sounding Peace”, a deeply contemplative exploration of what the sound of peace truly is - both in the outer world and within ourselves. In this rich conversation, Joseph shares insights from his creative journey, his exploration of sound as a spiritual and social medium, and how art continues to be his vehicle for understanding and expressing the human condition.
