Walking and Asking Questions in Bath’s Sydney Gardens (UK)
The walk uses a blue tooth headset/‘silent disco’ kit to take participants on a sound walking and questioning experience in Bath’s Sydney Gardens. The walk attends to and draws from layers and entanglements, obscured history and reluctant heritage, asking questions about wealth, power, the human and the non-human. Listening for the ghosts. We start with the stories of a few trees in this garden mangled through different rollers of time and place, thinking about how things connect and, considering the price paid, perhaps discover something about ourselves here, and now.
