While unlikely publics are, fundamentally, weak publics, they also surprise us—that is their gift, their example. Through an art of trespass, they remind how public life is a shared matter, crafted by people at certain moments, in certain places, driven by struggle and imagination, and the joy of discovering each other. This article identifies four figures of sonic agency practices by unlikely publics: the invisible, the overheard, the itinerant and the weak.
