I am Ralph Hoyte, a Bristol-based sound artist. Together with Prof’ Steve Poole (UWE Regional History Centre) I will be conducting an artist-led walk thru’ of my University of the West of England Regional History Centre-supported work of located soundart, Riot1831 (The Sacking of the Bristol Gaol) as part of the Being Human Festival of the Humanities.
This artist-led located audio walk (part of the wider Riot1831 soundscape series) reimagines the 1831 reform riots in which the people of Bristol rose up and demanded electoral and social reform, burning the Bishop’s Palace to the ground (it used to be part of Bristol Cathedral), as well as sacking and liberating the New Gaol (it’s now a new development behind M Shed) and destroying much of Queen Square.
